Songtexte The Boxer - Emmylou Harris
I
am
just
a
poor
boy
though
my
story's
seldom
told
I
have
squandered
my
existence
On
a
pocket
full
of
mumbles
such
are
promises
All
lies
in
jest,
'til
a
man
hears
what
he
wants
to
hear
And
disregards
the
rest
When
I
left
my
home
and
my
family,
I
was
no
more
than
a
boy
In
the
company
of
strangers,
in
the
quiet
of
the
railway
station
Runnin'
scared,
layin'
low,
seeking
out
the
poor
quarters
Where
the
ragged
people
go
looking
for
the
places
Only
they
would
know

Only
seeking
workman's
wages
I
come
looking
for
a
job
but
I
get
no
offers
Just
a
come
on
from
the
whores
on
Seventh
Avenue
I
do
declare
there
were
times
when
I
was
so
lonesome
I
took
some
comfort
there
In
a-laying
out
my
winter
clothes
And
wishing
I
was
home,
going
home
Where
the
New
York
City
winters
Aren't
a-bleeding
me,
bleeding
me
Going
home

In
the
clearing
stands
a
boxer
and
a
fighter
by
his
trade
And
he
carries
the
reminders
Of
every
bloke
that
laid
him
down
or
cleft
him
'Til
he
cried
out
in
his
anger
and
his
shame
"I
am
leaving,
I
am
leaving
but
the
fighter
still
remains"
