Howvever the more you think about that word the less sense it makes in that context. isn't it normal for poor boys that their stories are not told very often? Shouldn't it be 'SO my stroy's seldom told'? Don't get me wrong here, I know that it is 'though'. Max from BerlinI would like to know why it is 'THOUGH my story's seldom told'.Bob Becker from WisconsinNotice the rare use of a bass harmonica at the lyrics 'When I left my home.ragged people go.' and again at 'In a clearing.Or cut him.' Also, I find the couple bar chord variation at '.aren't beeding me.But the *fighter* still remains, which is kinda what life is about. The verses take us through some life experiences which have left their scars (the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him til he cried out) and his despair makes him want to give up and leave. Cindy P from MichiganMy absolute favorite S & G song, love every single thing about it! My personal take on the lyrics is that he is the Boxer and 'life' is the opponent.Can't remember where I heard this, so probably not factual. There is/was a Columbia recording studio on 7th, but I have no idea if they recorded there. Bob B from UkAs a kid, I heard that the Whores On Seventh Avenue referred CBS Records, enticing S&G in to record new material.At the time I assumed it was the official lyric and that was how I sung it. I had a book of the music from Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water album and the line 'the whores on Seventh Avenue' was written as 'the girls on Seventh Avenue'. That was a time when, if you wanted accurate lyrics, you had to buy sheet music. Richard from PortugalThis is a song I learnt to sing and play in my early 20s.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
