New York City |
She came to me shortly after Christmas, |
Said she hated spoiling New Year’s Eve. |
But the truth doesn’t wait to come in season |
And what we had feared was now believed |
She said she’d leave come Monday morning, |
Catch a plane if I’d split the fair. |
She had friends who lived in New York City. |
She’d look them up and have the baby there. |
And now she’s alone in New York City (New York City), |
Living like … Lord, I wonder how. |
An angel in hell in New York City (New York City), |
But I can’t think about that now. |
Honey, will you tell him Bible stories |
And give him all the love I never could? |
And never tell him too much 'bout his daddy |
'Cause there’s not too much to say that’s good. |
He’ll have to learn it all from his mother: |
How to count and say his A-B-C's. |
But when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime, |
Leave off «God Bless Daddy,"won't you, please? |
And now they’re alone in New York City (New York City), |
Living like … Lord, I wonder how. |
Two angels in hell in New York City (New York City), |
But I can’t think about that now. |
I can’t think about that now. |
