New York Boy (Album Version)

New York Boy (Album Version) - Neil Diamond (尼爾·戴蒙德)

New York City look at me now

Being stared at from behind the plow

Mississippi don't get annoyed

I ain't no hippie just a New York boy

Didn't want the mayor to come

Or a big brass band to greet me

But then the reception I got

Well it wasn't what I had in mind

People gawkin' at me

Like I'm talkin' strange

Me I ain't much better

'Cause I'm thinkin' the same

Hey boy

New York City look at me now

Being stared at from behind the plow

Mississippi don't get annoyed

I ain't no hippie just a New York boy

Sayin' y'all and eatin' on grits

Talkin' as slow as molasses

And all the time just pointing at me

And the hair growin' over my ears

Gets my mind to wonderin'

Just who's right and who's wrong

I guess if they'll get used to the sideburns

I'll get used to the corn

Hey boy

New York City look at me now

Being stared at from behind the plow

Mississippi don't get annoyed

I ain't no hippie just a New York boy

New York City look at me now

Being stared at from behind the plow

Mississippi don't get annoyed

I ain't no hippie just a New York boy

New York City look at me now

Being stared at from behind the plow
