Simon & Garfunkel Lyrics. "The Boxer". I am just a poor boy. Though my story's seldom told. I have squandered my resistance. For a pocketful of mumbles. Such are promises. All lies and jest. Still, a man hears what he wants to hear.
"The Boxer" is a song recorded by the American music duo Simon & Garfunkel from their fifth studio album, Bridge over Troubled Water (1970). Produced by the duo and Roy Halee, it was released as the lead single from the album on March 21, 1969.
The song is a folk rock ballad that variously takes the form of a first-person lament as well as a third-person sketch of a boxer. The lyrics are largely autobiographical and partially inspired by the Bible and were written during a time when Simon felt he was being unfairly criticized.
