The Boxer - Jess & Matt
Lyricist：Paul Simon
Composer：Paul Simon
I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
La la la la
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
Running scared
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places
Only they would know
Ooooh
La la lie
La la la la la la lie
La la lie
La la lie la lie 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
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there la la la la lie
Oooh
La la lie
La la la la la la lie
La la lie
La la lie la lie la la la la la lie
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And 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
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
I am leaving I am leaving
But the fighter still remains la la la lie
Ooooh
La la lie
La la la la la la lie
La la lie
La la lie la lie la la la la la lie
La la la la la la lie
La la lie
La la lie la lie la la la la la lie
La la la la la la lie
La la lie
La la lie la lie la la la la la lie
La la la la la la lie
La la lie
La la lie la lie la la la la la lie
