I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocket full of mumbles Such are promises. When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy In the company of strangers In the quiet of the railway station Running scared. Laying low Seeking out the poorer quarters Where the ragged people go Looking for the places only they would know. Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job But I get no offers Just a come on from the whores on 7th Avenue. In the clearing stands a boxer And a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders Of every glove that laid him down Or cut him 'til he cried out In his anger and his shame I am leaving, I am leaving But the fighter still remains.

She is considered "an old maid" by Mormon standards, so she may be willing to marry you--hoping you will convert someday --but she will constantly be reminded that your marriage is inferior to the "Eternal Families" of sealed Mormons, and she will fear dying and never seeing her loved ones again.
