The Boxer (Bonus Track)

[00:10.15] I'm just a poor boy
[00:11.90] Though my story's seldom told
[00:14.72] I have squandered my resistance
[00:17.02] For a pocketful of mumbles
[00:19.26] Such are promises
[00:21.22] All lies and jests
[00:22.86] Still a man hears what he wants to hear
[00:25.90] And disregards the rest
[00:28.46]
[00:31.39] When I left my home and my family
[00:33.55] I was no more than a boy
[00:36.18] In the company of strangers
[00:38.70] In the quiet of the railway stations
[00:41.05] Runnin' scared
[00:42.94] Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
[00:46.54] Where the ragged people go
[00:49.24] Looking for the places only they would know
[00:52.34] Well lie-la-lie
[00:55.48] Lie-la-lie, lie-lie-la-lie
[01:00.44] Lie-la-lie
[01:03.01] Lie-la-lie, lie-lie-la-lie
[01:08.17] La-la-la-la-lie
[01:08.83] Asking only workman's wages
[01:11.02] I come lookin' for a job
[01:13.24] But I get no offers
[01:16.56] Just a c'mon from the whores on
[01:18.37] Seventh Avenue
[01:20.39] I do declare
[01:22.08] There were times when I was so lonesome
[01:25.02] I took some comfort there
[01:28.27]
[01:30.72] And I'm laying out my winter clothes
[01:33.28] And wishing I was gone
[01:35.48] Goin' home
[01:38.30] Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me
[01:41.80] Leading me
[01:45.36] Going home
[01:47.83] Well la-la
[01:49.26] La-la-la-la
[01:52.52] La-la-la-la
[01:54.98]
[01:57.35] La-la-la-la
[02:00.45] La-la-la-lie
[02:06.17]
[02:30.29] In the clearing stands a boxer
[02:32.68] And a fighter by his trade
[02:35.36] And he carries the reminder
[02:37.77] Of every glove that laid him down
[02:40.56] And cut him 'til he cried out
[02:42.82] In his anger and his shame
[02:45.11] "I am leaving, I am leaving"
[02:48.25] But the fighter still remains
[02:51.24] Well lie-la-lie
[02:53.38] Lie-la-lie, lie-la-la-lie
[02:55.75] Lie-la-lie
[02:58.49] Lie-la-lie-la, lie-la-lie
[03:03.62] La-la-la-la-lie
[03:05.78] Lie-la-lie, lie-la-la-lie
[03:09.33] Lie-la-lie
[03:11.28] Lie-la-lie-la, lie-la-lie
[03:14.87]
[03:17.35] La-la-la-la-lie
[03:19.73] Lie-la-lie, lie-la-la-lie
[03:21.97] Lie-la-lie
[03:24.67] Lie-la-lie-la, lie-la-lie
[03:25.65] La-la-la-la-lie
[03:26.56]
