I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told
G
I have squandered my resistance
G7 G6 C
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises

All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear
C G G7 G6 C
And disregards the rest

When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
G
In the company of strangers

In the quiet of a railway station, running scared
Am G F
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters

Where the ragged people go
G G7 G6 C
Looking for the places only they would know

Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job

Going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Leading me, going home.

Or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving
But the fighter still remains

Lie la lie ... etc.
