New York Girls Lyrics - Pandemonium: The Essential Bellowhead - 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? 

Instrumental 

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? 

Instrumental 

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
