New York City Blues - Original |
| If you’ve ever been to New York City |
| You know what I’m talking about |
| Yes you do |
| Well, if you’ve ever been to New York City |
| You know what I’m talking about |
| They got such pretty little girls in that big town |
| Make a man wanna jump around and shout |
| I met a little girl there |
| She was about five foot eight |
| I said «I want you to love me.» |
| She said «Why man, that’d be great.» |
| So |
| I got long hair but |
| She took me back |
| Back to see her pad |
| But the first thing I saw when I arrived there |
| Was a big black shiny shotgun |
| In the hands of her dad |
| Alright now, this is how it was |
| Oh no! |
| Well alright! |
| I finally learned my lesson |
| Such a long time ago |
| Next little woman that I date |
| I’ve got to know, I’ve got to know her family too |
| Yes indeed, I gotta know her family too |
| But if you don’t want to be filled full of shotgun holes |
| Mister, this song is just for you |
