[Verse 2]
             
When I left my

              
 home and my f

              
amily, I was n

              
o more than a 


boy
         
In the company

 of strangers
             
In the quiet o

              
f a railway st

              
ation, running

 
 scared
            
Laying low, se

             
eking out the 

       
poorer quarter

s
              
Where the ragg

          
ed people go
             
Looking for th

            
e places only

[Verse 3] 
             
Asking only wo

              
rkman's wages 

              
I come looking

       
 for a job
             
But I get no o

ffers
             
Just a come-on

              
 from the whor

Avenue
            
I do declare,

so lonesome

[Verse 4]
             
In the clearin

              
g stands a box

              
er and a fight

        
er by his trad

e
             
And he carries

              
 a reminder of

  
 every glove t

hat laid him d

own
             
Or cut him til

              
l he cried out

              
 in his anger 

        
and his shame
             
I am leaving, 

     
I am leaving
              
But the fighte
