[00:07.10] I am just a poor boy
[00:09.09] Though my story's seldom told
[00:11.94] I have squandered
[00:13.36] my resistance
[00:14.77] For a pocket full of mumbles
[00:17.05] such are promises
[00:19.32] - - -
[00:21.02] All lies and jests
[00:22.73] Still a man hears
[00:23.86] what he wants to hear
[00:25.56] And disregards the rest
[00:27.55] MMMMM -
[00:29.82] MMM MMM MMM MMM -
[00:32.37] { A - } - { A - }
[00:36.91] When I left my home
[00:38.61] and my family
[00:39.75] I was no more than a boy
[00:42.30] In the company of strangers
[00:45.43] In the quiet
[00:46.28] of the railway station
[00:47.97] Running scared
[00:50.25] { A - }
[00:51.10] Laying low seeking out
[00:53.65] the poorer quarters
[00:55.35] Where the ragged people go
[00:58.47] Looking for the places
[00:59.89] Only they would know
[01:01.31] - - -
[01:02.45] Lie la lie - lie la la la lie lie
[01:08.41] Lie la lie - lie la la la
[01:13.23] la lie la la lie
[01:14.64] { A - } - { A - }
[01:18.62] Asking only workman's wages
[01:21.46] I come looking for a job
[01:24.29] But I get no offers
[01:25.71] { E - }
[01:27.13] Just a come-on
[01:28.26] from the whores'
[01:29.40] Seventh Avenue
[01:32.52] I do declare
[01:34.79] There were times
[01:35.64] when I was so lonesome
[01:37.34] I took some comfort there
[01:39.89] le le le le le le le

[02:27.78] Then I'm laying out
[02:29.49] my winter clothes
[02:30.91] And wishing I was gone
[02:32.89] Going home -
[02:34.60] Where the
[02:36.59] New York City winters
[02:38.02] Aren't bleeding me
[02:40.86] Leading me
[02:45.96] Going home { E - } -
[02:48.80] { 2-4: E - }
[02:50.22] { A - } -
[02:52.49] { A - } -
[02:55.04] In the clearing stands a boxer
[02:57.31] And a fighter by his trade
[03:00.71] And he carries the reminders
[03:02.69] Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
[03:05.81] Or cut him till he cried out
[03:08.35] In his anger and his shame
[03:10.62] I am leaving - I am leaving
[03:13.16] But the fighter
[03:14.58] still remains
[03:15.71] mmm mmm - {2-4: E - }
[03:18.27] { D - A - }
