oysterband - new york girls (live) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
as i rolled down on south street
a woman i did meet
she asked me just to see her home
she lived on 14th street

[chorus]
and aweigh, you santy
my dear annie
oh you new york girls
can you dance the polka?

[verse 2]
and when we got to 14th street
we stopped at number 4
her mother and her sisters came
to greet us at the door

[chorus]
and aweigh, you santy
my dear annie
oh you new york girls
can you dance the polka?

[verse 3]
and when we got inside the house
the drink was handed round
the liquor came so strong and quick
my head went round and round
[verse 4]
when i woke up next morning
i had an aching head
found myself stark naked
all alone in bed

[verse 5]
my gold watch and my money
and my lady+friend were gone
there was i without a stitch
or a cent to call my own

[chorus]
and aweigh, you santy
my dear annie
oh you new york girls
can you dance the polka?

[verse 6]
so look out all young sailors
and watch your step on shore
you’ll have to be up early to be
smarter than a wh0re

[chorus]
and aweigh, you santy
my dear annie
oh you new york girls
can you dance the polka?
[verse 7]
your hard+earned cash will disappear
your hat and boots as well
for new york girls are tougher than
the other side of h+ll

[chorus]
aweigh, you santy
my dear annie
oh you new york girls
can you dance the polka?
and aweigh, you santy
my dear annie
oh you new york girls
can you dance the polka?
oh you new york girls (new york girls)

[instrumental]
