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

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