Washington Square

Washington Square - James Last (詹姆斯·拉斯特)

Lyrics by：Traditional

Composed by：Traditional

Cape Cod Light to Mississip

To San Francisco Bay

They're talking 'bout this famous place

Down Greenwich Village way

So I got my banjo out just sittin' catchin' dust

And painted right across the face

Greenwich Village or Bust

My folks were sad to see me go

But I got no meanin' there

So said Goodbye Kansas Mo and hello

Washington Square

Tennessee I met a guy who played 12-string guitar

He also had a mighty voice not to mention a car

Each time he hit those bluegrass chords

You sure smelled mountain air I said

Don't waste it on the wind

Come on to Washington Square

She sang for all humanity this gal with raven hair

I said it's for the world to hear

C'mon to Washington Square

Cannonballed into New York on good old US 1

Till up ahead we saw the arch

A-gleamin' bright in the sun

So how's about a freedom song

Or the old Rock Island Line

Or how's about the dust-bowl crop

Or men who work in a mine
