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

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