《The Boxer(2002 Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:01] The Boxer (Remastered LP Version) - Emmylou Harris

[00:00:03] I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told

[00:00:10] I have squandered my existence

[00:00:13] On a pocket full of mumbles such are promises

[00:00:16] All lies in jest till a man hears what he wants to hear

[00:00:23] And disregards the rest

[00:00:25] Well I left my home and family I was no more than a boy

[00:00:36] In the company of strangers

[00:00:39] In the quiet of the railway station runnin' scared

[00:00:43] Layin' low seeking out the poor quarters

[00:00:49] Where the ragged people go looking for the places

[00:00:53] Only they would know

[00:00:55] Li Li Li (etc )

[00:01:10] Only seeking workman's wages I come looking for a job

[00:01:16] But I get no offers

[00:01:17] Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue

[00:01:23] I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome

[00:01:29] I took some comfort there

[00:01:31] In a-laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was home

[00:01:41] Going home

[00:01:43] Where the New York City winters aren't a-bleding me

[00:01:48] Bleeding me

[00:01:52] Going home

[00:01:55] Da Da Da (etc )

[00:02:11] In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade

[00:02:19] And he carries the reminders

[00:02:22] Of every bloke that laid him down or cleft him

[00:02:27] Till he cried out in his anger and his shame

[00:02:32] I am leaving I am leaving

[00:02:33] But the fighter still remains

[00:02:35] Li Li Li
