don mclean - yonkers girl [live] lyrics

[intro, spoken]
you didn’t have to do that
i was comin’ back anyway

[verse 1]
i met a little girl in yonkers not far from new roch+lle
and every sunday evenin’ within her home i dwell
i went to take a little walk to a dark and lonesome place
i drew a rail from off the fence and smashed her in the face

[verse 2]
i then took out a piece of rope, and i tied her to a tree
i said that “i will k!ll you here if you won’t marry me”
i then took out my wee pen knife, these words i will attest
i said, “if you won’t marry me, i’ll plunge it through your breast”

[verse 3]
i then took out my .44 and aimed it at her head
i said, “if you won’t marry me, then, i will k!ll you dead”
then down upon her knees she got for mercy she did cry
“oh, donny dear, don’t k!ll me here i’m not prepared to die”

[verse 4]
but i did not heed her mournful cries, i only beat her more
’til the ground around my feet was covered with her gore
i took her by her long black hair, and i drug her around and around
then i chunked her into the river that flows by yonkers town
[verse 5]
“go down, go down, you, yonkers girl with the dark and blackened eye
go down, go down, you, yonkers girl, i loved you on the sly
these words she said as she drifted by, they cut me to my heart
“your love has changed, you are deranged, now, you and i must part”
