5 5 5 6 5 3
I am just a poor boy.

3 4 5 5 (1’35) 7 6
Though my sto-ry’s sel-dom told,

6 7 6 5 (52) 6 5 2
I have squan-dered my re-sis-tance

2 3 4 4 4 (52) 4 3
for a pock-et-ful of mum-bles,

1 2 4 3 1
such are prom-is-es.

1′ 1′ 7 1′
All lies and jest,

1′ 7 1′ 7 (752) 7 7 6 6
still a man hears what he wants to hear,

(641) 6 6 6 4 5
and dis-re-gards the rest.

3 4 (53) 5 5 5 5 (53) 4 3
When I left my home and my fam-i-ly,

3 4 5 (1’35) 1′ 7 (613)
I was no more than a boy

6 6 (52) 5 5 5 5 2
in the com-pa-ny of stran-gers

2 3 (41) 4 4 4 (41) 3 1 2 4 3 1
in the qui-et of a rail-way sta-tion run-ning scared,

(1’13) 7 1′ (1’63) 7 1′ 7 7 (72) 7 6
lay-ing low, seek-ing the poor-er quar-ters

6 6 (641) 6 6 5 5
where the rag-ged peo-ple go,

3 4 (52) 2 2 3 (41) 4 3 2 1
look-ing for the plac-es on-ly they would know.

(1’13) 7 1′
Lie-la-lie,

1′ 7 (1’5) 7 7 6 (52)
lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie

1′ 7 (1’63)
lie-la-lie

2′ 3′ (4’6) 3′ (3’5) 2′ 1′ 2′ (1’6) 1′ 1′ (75) 1′
lie-la-lie la la la la lie-la la la la lie.

3 4 (53) 5 5 5 5 3 3 3 4 3 1 2 (31)
Ask-ing on-ly work-man’s wag-es I come look-ing for a job,

3 3 3 3 (31) 2
but I get no of-fers,

2 2 4 4 4 4 4 (31) 1 2 4 3 (31)
just a come-on from the whores on Sev-enth Av-e-nue.

1′ (1’3) 7 1′ (1’6) 7 1′ (75) 7 7 7 (64) 6
I do de-clare, there were times when I was so lone-some

6 (641) 6 6 5 (531)
I took some com-fort there.

3 4 (531) 5 5 5 5 4 (31)
Then I’m lay-ing out my win-ter clothes

4 5 (1’35) 1′ 7 (613) 6 3 (52)
and wish-ing I was gone, go-ing home

2 3 4 4 4 4 (42) 3 1 2 4 3 (31)
where the New York Cit-y win-ters are-n’t bleed-ing me,

(1’35) 7 (53) (613)
lead-ing me,

6 (31) 5
go-ing home.

5 6 (531) 5 5 5 5 (31)
In the clear-ing stands a box-er,

3 4 5 5 (1’13) 7 (613)
and a fight-er by his trade,

6 7 6 5 5 6 (52) 2
and he car-ries the re-mind-ers

2 4 4 4 (42) 4 3 1
of ev-‘ry glove that laid him down

2 (41) 3 1 2 4 (31)
or cut him till he cried out

5 5 5 (1’35) 1′ 7 (1’63)
in his an-ger and his shame,

1′ (1’63) 1′ 7 (752) 7 7 (64)
“I am leav-ing, I am leav-ing.”

6 6 (641) 6 6 5 (531)
But the fight-er still re-mains.

1′ 7 1′
Lie-la lie,

(1’63) 7 1′ 7 7 6 5
lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie,

1′ 7 (1’6)
lie-la-lie

(2’7) 3′ (4’6) 3′ (3’5) 2′ (1’3)
lie-la lie la la la la

2′ (1’6) 1′ 1′ 7 (1’35)
lie-la la la la lie.

1′ 7 1′
Lie-la lie,

(1’63) 7 1′ 7 7 6 5
lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie,

1′ 7 (1’6)
lie-la-lie

(2’7) 3′ (4’6) 3′ (3’5) 2′ (1’3)
lie-la lie la la la la

2′ (1’6) 1′ 1′ 7 (1’35)
lie-la la la la lie.
