A D A
Come to the door, Ma, and unlock the chain
D
I was just passin' through and got caught in the rain
A
There's nothin' I want, nothin' that you need say
E A
Just let me lie down for a while and I'll be on my way
A D A
I was no more than a kid when you put me on the Southern Queen
D
With the police on my back I fled to New Orleans
A
I fought in the dockyards and with the money I made
E A
I knew the fight was my home and blood was my trade
A D A
Baton Rouge, Poncitoula, and Lafayette town
D
Well they paid me their money, Ma, I knocked the men down
A
I did what I did well it come easily
E A |
Restraint and mercy, Ma, were always strangers to me

A D A
I fought champion Jack Thompson in a field full of mud
D
Rain poured through the tent to the canvas and mixed with our blood
A
In the twelfth I slipped my tongue over my broken jaw
D
I stood over him and pounded his bloody body into the floor
A
Well the bell rang and rang and still I kept on
E A
'Till I felt my glove leather slip 'tween his skin and bone
A D A
Then the women and the money came fast and the days I lost track
D
The women red, the money green, but the numbers were black
A
I fought for the men in their silk suits to lay down their bets
E A
I took my good share, Ma, I have no regrets
A D A
Then I took the fix at the state armory with big John McDowell
D
From high in the rafters I watched myself fall
A
As he raised his arm my stomach twisted and the sky it went black
E A
I stuffed my bag with their good money and I never looked back
D A
Understand, in the end, Ma, every man plays the game
E A
If you know me one different then speak out his name
D
Ma if my voice now you don't recognize
A E A
Then just open the door and look into your dark eyes
D
I ask of you nothin', not a kiss not a smile,
A E A
Just open the door and let me lie down for a while
A D A
Now the gray rain's fallin' and my ring fightin's done
D
So in the work fields and alleys I take all who'll come
A
If you're a better man than me then just step to the line
D
Show me your money and speak out your crime
A
Now there's nothin' I want, Ma, nothin' that you need say
E A
Just let me lie down for a while and I'll be on my way
A
Tonight in the shipyard a man draws a circle in the dirt
D
I move to the center and I take off my shirt
A
I study him for the cuts, the scars, the pain, Man, nor time can erase
E D A
I move hard to the left and I strike to the face
