[00:06.12]I am just a poor boy
[00:08.00]Though my story's seldom told
[00:10.62]I have squandered my resistance
[00:13.55]For a pocketful of mumbles
[00:15.37]Such are promises
[00:16.80]All lies and jest
[00:19.43]Still a man hears what he wants to hear
[00:23.36]And disregards the rest
[00:25.55]Mmm
[00:27.74]Mmm
[00:35.87]When I left my home
[00:37.42]And my family
[00:38.49]I was no more than a boy
[00:41.17]In the company of strangers
[00:43.17]In the quiet of the railway station
[00:46.24]Running scared
[00:49.56]Laying low
[00:51.43]Seeking out the poorer quarters
[00:53.43]Where the ragged people go
[00:56.61]Looking for the places
[00:58.24]Only they would know
[01:01.43]Lie-la-lie
[01:04.92]Lie-la-lie
[01:17.49]Asking only workman's wages
[01:19.42]I come looking for a job
[01:21.67]But I get no offers
[01:25.23]Just a come-on from the whores
[01:27.55]On Seventh Avenue
[01:31.17]I do declare
[01:32.86]There were times
[01:33.98]When I was so lonesome
[01:36.11]I took some comfort there
[02:10.55]Lie-la-lie
[02:15.67]Lie-la-lie
[02:26.67]Lie-la-lie
[02:27.05]Then I'm laying out
[02:29.05]My winter clothes
[02:29.86]And wishing I was gone
[02:34.99]Going home
[02:35.60]Where the New York City winters
[02:38.04]Aren't bleeding me
[02:39.92]Leading me
[02:43.86]Going home
[02:53.04]In the clearing stands a boxer
[02:55.67]And a fighter by his trade
[02:58.61]And he carries the reminders
[02:59.79]Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
[03:03.54]Or cut him till he cried out
[03:06.29]In his anger and his shame
[03:08.19]"I am leaving I am leaving"
[03:10.68]But the fighter still remains
[03:13.56]Mmm
[03:18.37]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[03:23.63]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[03:33.85]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[03:41.36]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[03:54.04]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[04:01.54]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[04:09.92]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[04:26.73]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
