findlay napier – the man who sold new york lyrics
[verse 1]
george c. parker
was the man who sold new york
to out of towner millonaires
who fell for his sweet talk
they’d pay for lady liberty
they bought his every line
he must have sold the brooklyn bridge
at least a hundred times
george c. parker
the man who sold new york
[verse 2]
a master of persuasion
he knew every get rich quick
from the kansas city shuffle
to the crooked three card trick
start with the foundation
that’s how you begin
build up to the convincer
until you’ve drawn them in
he’ll take you in his confidence
and leave you in the dark
the principle’s the same
you only need a mark
[bridge]
he’ll take you in his confidence
and leave you in the dark
the principle’s the same
you only need a mark
[verse 3]
for forty years he rode his luck
’til there was nothing left to sell
money doesn’t mean a thing
inside a prison cell
but old habits they die hard
and cannot be denied
he tried to cut a deal with god
the night before he died
george c. parker
the man who sold new york
george c. parker
the man who sold new york
