New York City Blues (2015 Remaster)

If you've ever been to New York City

You know what I'm talking about

Yes, you do

Well, if you've ever been to New York City

You know what I'm talking about

They got such pretty little girls in that big town

Make a man want to jump around and shout

I met a little girl there

She was about five foot eight

I said, "I want you to love me"

She said, "Wow, man, that'd be great"

So, I got long hair, but

She took me back

Back to see her pad

But the first thing I saw when I arrived there

Was a big black shiny shotgun in the hands of her dad

Alright now, this is how it was

Oh no

Well alright

I finally learned my lesson

Such a long time ago

Next little woman that I date

I've got to know, I've got to know her family too

Yes, indeed, I gotta know her family too

So if you don't wanna be filled full of shotgun holes

Mister, this song is just for you
