Dans un village noir de charbon
Dans les ch'min? Es et les corons
Tout p' tit il battait ses copains
Il? Tait fier de ses deux poings
Presqu' autant qu' son p? Re le mineur
Qui disait: ?a f' ra un boxeur
Le jour de son premier combat
Fallait un nom, l' en avait pas
Comme la mode? Tait? L' anglais
Il s' appela Battling Joe
Battling Joe
C'? Tait un peu d? Mesur?
Pour un gosse aux? Paules? Troites
Mais qui avait une m? Chante droite
Battling Joe
Il gagna son premier combat
Et le soir m? Me avec papa
Il prenait le train pour Paris
O? Un boxeur? A vaut son prix
Battling Joe
Il croyait bien en f'sant c' truc-l?
? Tre plus libre mais voil?
Qui dit boxeur dit manager
Le sien avait une poigne de fer
C'? Tait un gars tr? S are? Gulier
Qui pour justifier la moiti?
Des bourses de tous ses combats
Lui fit mener une vie d' for? At
On n' est pas l? pour rigoler
Qu' il disait? Battling Joe
Battling Joe
Devint un boxeur redout?
Battling faisait des gross' recettes
Battling devint une gross' vedette
Battling Joe
Les dames disaient tout pr? S du ring
Il est d?licieux ce Battling
Et elles admiraient son moral
Sans penser qu' les coups? A fait mal
Battling Joe
Battling devint un grand champion
Jusqu' au triste soir o? Un gnon
Lui embrouilla soudain les yeux
L' manager dit: C'est pas s? Rieux!
Tu d' viens feignant, fait ton m? Tier
Boxe rime pas avec piti?...
La foule eut p' t'? Tr' tort ce soir-l?
De siffler la fin du combat
Malgr? Les lampes et leurs? Clairs
Battling Joe... H? Joe... Ne voyait plus clair
Battling Joe
C' est un nom mait' nant oubli?
Une triste silhouette qui penche
Appuy? E sur une canne blanche
Battling Joe
A tout perdu en un seul soir
Ses yeux son titre et son espoir
Mais il sait comme consolation
Son manager a d' autres champions
Battling Joe
