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
