| She was just a country girl
|
| Didn’t have those New York City ways
|
| When she hopped a bus in Ohio
|
| Headin' for the crowded streets where no one says a word
|
| She was just a country girl living in the lonely city
|
| Met a man who learned her name
|
| She became a woman on a rainy New York night
|
| There’s a new day dawnin' in the city
|
| She calls her Mama collect
|
| Sayin' Mama send bus fare back to Ohio
|
| Have somebody meet me at the depot
|
| She was just a country girl
|
| Spent some time in New York City
|
| Now she tells her friends about lonely New York City
|
| And her lonely New York night
|
| She was just a country girl
|
| She was just a country girl |
