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

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