New York Girls(Live)
Written by Burl Ives

Ah, ah, ah, ah...
Shipmates listen unto me, I'll tell you in my song.
Of the things that happened to me when I come home from Hong Kong.

Chorus:
To me, where is Santy? My dear Annie.
All you New York Girls can't you dance the Polka?

As I walked down Chatham Street a fair maid I did meet.
She asked me please to see her home,
she lived on Bleaker Street. Now if you only come with me,
you can have a treat. You can have a glass of brandy,
and somthing nice to eat.

(Chorus)

Before we sat down to eat, we had several drinks.
The liqour was so awful strong I quickly fell asleep.

(Chorus)

When I awoke next morning, I had an achin' head.
My goldwatch and my pocketbook and my lady friend had left.
Now dressed in the lady's apron I wondered most forlorn,
'til Martin Churchhill took me in and sent me 'round Capehorn.

(Chorus)
