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

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