New York Girls (Live)

New York Girls (Live) - Bellowhead

As I walked down to New York town a fair maid I did meet

She asked me back to see her place

She lived on Barrack Street

And away Santy my dear Annie

Oh you New York girls can't you dance the polka

And when we got to Barrack Street we stopped at forty-four

Her mother and her sister were waiting at the door

And away Santy my dear Annie

Oh you New York girls can't you dance the polka

And when I got inside the house the drinks were passed around

The liquor was so awful strong my head went round and round

And then we had another drink before we sat to eat

The liquor was so awful strong I quickly fell asleep

And away Santy my dear Annie

Oh you New York girls can't you dance the polka

When I awoke next morning I had an aching head

And there was I Jack all alone stark naked in me bed

My gold watch and my money and my lady friend were gone

And there was I Jack all alone stark naked in the room

And away Santy my dear Annie

Oh you New York girls can't you dance the polka

Oh looking round that little room there's nothing I could see

But a woman's shift and apron that were no use to me

With a barrel for a suit of clothes down Cherry Street forlorn

Where Martin Churchill took me in

And he sent me round Cape Horn

So sailor lads take warning when you land on New York shore

You'll have to get up early to be smarter than a whore

And away Santy my dear Annie

Oh you New York girls can't you dance the polka

And away Santy my dear Annie

Oh you New York girls can't you dance the polka
