The Boxer (with The Jessy Dixon Singers & Urubamba) [Live 1973] - song lyrics

I wanna welcome Gibson Jerry Douglas to join me on this song

A poor boy, his story's seldom told
Squandered his resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises

All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
Disregards the rest, mmm

When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of a railway station, running scared

Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-la-la-la-la-lie
(Lie-la-lie)
(Lie-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lie)

Asking only 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
That there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
Ooh-la-la-la-la-la-la

Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-la-la-la-la-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-la-la-la-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-la-la-la-la-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lie
Mmm

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
Wishing I was gone, going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Leading me
Going home

In the clearing stands a boxer
A fighter by his trade
And he carries the remainders
Of every glove that laid him down
And cut him 'til he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"Well, I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains
And he still remains

Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-la-la-la-la-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-la-la-la-la-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-la-la-la-la-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lie

Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-la-la-la-la-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lie

We have a lot of friends out here tonight
A lot of friends out there
No, I was reffering to a few people over here

The night was black, the roads were icy Snow was fallin', drifts were high And I was weary, from my driving And I stopped to rest for a while I sat down at a truck stop I was thinking about my past I've had a long streak of bad luck But I'm praying it's gone at last Gone, gone at last, (gone at last), gone at last, (gone at last) Gone at last, (gone at last), gone at last, (gone at last) I had a long streak of that bad luck But I'm prayin' it's gone at last I ain't dumb I kicked around some I don't fall too easily But that boy looked so dejected He just grabbed my sympathy Sweet little soul now, what's your problem? Tell me why you're so downcast I've had a long streak of bad luck But I'm praying it's gone at last Gone, gone at last, (gone at last), gone at last, (gone at last) Gone at last, (gone at last), no one knows I had a long streak of that bad luck But I'm prayin' it's gone at last Once in a while from out of nowhere When you don't expect it, and you're unprepared Somebody will come and lift you higher And your burdens will be shared Yes I do believe, if I hadn't met you I might still be sinking fast I've had a long streak of bad luck But I'm praying it's gone at last Gone, gone at last, (gone at last), gone at last, (gone at last) Gone, gone at last, (gone at last), nobody knows I had a long streak of that bad luck But I'm prayin' it's gone at last Gone, gone, gone, (gone at last), gone, gone, gone, (gone at last) Gone, gone, gone, (gone at last), gone, gone, gone, (gone at last) I had a long streak of that bad luck But I'm prayin' it's gone at last
