E A E
Come to the door, Ma, and unlock the chain
A
I was just passin' through and got caught in the rain
E
There's nothin' I want, nothin' that you need say
B E
Just let me lie down for a while and I'll be on my way
E A E
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
E
I fought in the dockyards and with the money I made
B E
I knew the fight was my home and blood was my trade
E A E
Baton Rouge, Poncitoula, and Lafayette town
A
Well they paid me their money, Ma, I knocked the men down
E
I did what I did well it come easily
B E |
Restraint and mercy, Ma, were always strangers to me

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