kingston trio - new york girls lyrics
burl ives
shipmates listen unto me. i’ll tell you in my song of things that happened to me when i come home from hong kong.
chorus:
to me way, you santy, my dear annie. oh, you new york girls, can’t you dance the polka?
as i walked down to chatham street, a fair maid i did meet.
she asked me, please, to see her home. she lived on bleecker street
now, if you’ll only come with me, you can have a treat.
you can have a gl-ss of brandy and something nice to eat.
(chorus)
before we sat down to eat, we had sev’ral drinks.
the liquor was so awful strong, i quickly fell asleep.
(chorus)
when i awoke next mornin, i had an achin’ head.
my gold watch and my pocketbook and the lady friend had fled.
now dressed in the lady’s apr-n, i wandered most forlorn
’till martin churchill took me in and he sent me round cape h-rn.
(chorus)
