New York Girls (Live)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] As I rolled down on South Street A woman I did meet She asked me just to see her home She lived on Fourteenth Street [Chorus] And aweigh, you Santy My dear Annie Oh, you New York girls Can you dance the polka? [Verse 2] And when we got to Fourteenth Street We stopped at Number Four Her mother and her sisters came To greet us at the door [Chorus] And aweigh, you Santy My dear Annie Oh, you New York girls Can you dance the polka? [Verse 3] When we got inside the house The drink was handed round The liquor came so strong and quick My head went round and round [Verse 4] When I woke up next morning I had an aching head Found myself stark naked All alone in bed [Verse 5] My gold watch and my money And my lady friend were gone There was I without a stitch Or a cent to call my own [Chorus] And aweigh, you Santy My dear Annie Oh, you New York girls Can you dance the polka? (He will) [Instrumental Break] [Verse 6] So look out all young sailors And watch your step on shore You'll have to be up early To be smarter than a whore [Chorus] And aweigh, you Santy My dear Annie Oh, you New York girls Can you dance the polka? [Verse 7] Your hard-earned cash will disappear Your hat and boots as well For New York girls are tougher than The other side of hell [Chorus] Aweigh, you Santy My dear Annie Oh, you New York girls Can you dance the polka? And aweigh, you Santy My dear Annie Oh, you New York girls Can you dance the polka? Oh, you New York girls (New York girls) [Instrumental] Ian Telford on the fiddle there [Outro] Thank you very much indeed Good night to you
