[00:09.28]Come to the door Ma, and unlock the chain 
[00:17.63]I was just passin’ through and got caught in the rain 
[00:26.40]There’s nothing I want, nothin’ that you need say 
[00:34.46]Just let me lie down for a while and I’ll be on my way¡ 
[00:41.06]
[00:43.41]I was no more than a kid when you put me on the Southern Queen 
[00:52.17]With the police on my back I fled to New Orleans 
[01:01.63]I fought in the dockyards and with the money I made 
[01:09.44]I knew the fight was my home and blood was my trade 
[01:15.78]

[02:27.75]Well the bell rang and rang and still I kept on 
[02:37.03]‘Till I felt my glove leather slip ‘tween his skin and bone 
[02:44.07]
[02:45.06]Then the women and the money came fast and the days I lost track 
[02:53.62]The women red, the money green, but the numbers were black 
[03:02.64]I fought for the men in their silk suits to lay down their bets 
[03:11.21]I took my good share Ma, I have no regrets 
[03:17.92]
[03:19.00]Then I took the fix at the state armory with big John McDowell 
[03:28.62]From high in the rafters I watched myself fall 
[03:36.60]As he raised his arm my stomach twisted and the sky it went black 
[03:45.50]I stuffed my bag with their good money and I never looked back 
[03:52.22]
