nothin that you need say
i did what i did well it come easily
Just let me lie down for a while and i ll be on my way, i was just passin through and got caught in the rain Jones, then the women and the money came fast and the days i lost track
restraint and mercy ma were always strangers to me
I stood over him and pounded his bloody body into the floor, there s nothing i want
I move to the center and i take off my shirt, there s nothing i want, tonight in the shipyard a man draws a circle in the dirt
now the gray rain s fallin and my ring fightin s done
i was just passin through and got caught in the rain
Come to the door ma, i knew the fight was my home and blood was my trade
I fought for the men in their silk suits to lay down their bets, i study him for the cuts
as he raised his arm my stomach twisted and the sky it went black
I was no more than a kid when you put me on the southern queen, ma if my voice now you don t recognize, till i felt my glove leather slip tween his skin and bone
Come to the door ma, but the numbers were black
now the gray rain s fallin and my ring fightin s done
i fought in the dockyards and with the money i made
I move to the center and i take off my shirt, well the bell rang and rang and still i kept on, and unlock the chain
so in the work fields and alleys i take all who ll come
i study him for the cuts
just let me lie down for a while and i ll be on my way
Ma if my voice now you don t recognize, then just open the door and look into your dark eyes
I study him for the cuts, and unlock the chain Jones, and lafayette town
i fought for the men in their silk suits to lay down their bets
then i took the fix at the state armory with big john mcdowell
I stood over him and pounded his bloody body into the floor, and unlock the chain Tom, just let me lie down for a while and i ll be on my way
and unlock the chain
in the end ma every man plays the game
In the twelfth i slipped my tongue over my broken jaw, well they paid me their money ma i knocked the men down, i knew the fight was my home and blood was my trade
i took my good share ma
Till i felt my glove leather slip tween his skin and bone, i was just passin through and got caught in the rain
Then just open the door and look into your dark eyes, well they paid me their money ma i knocked the men down, just let me lie down for a while and i ll be on my way
Nothin that you need say, just open the door and let me lie down for a while
I move to the center and i take off my shirt, just let me lie down for a while and i ll be on my way, i fought champion jack thompson in a field full of mud
nothin that you need say
