New York's My Home Lyrics - Genius + Soul = Jazz - Ray Charles

There's a rumour going around 

That some of you good people 

Want to leave this town 

But you better consult me before you go 

(Why?) 

Cos I've been in all these places 

And I know 

(Chicago) Chicago's all right 

It's got the Wrigley Field and 

Soldier's Field and Marshall Field 

And it's on a nice lake

But it hasn't got 

The hansoms in the park 

It hasn't got a skyline after dark 

That's why New York's my home 

Never let me leave it 

New York's my home, sweet home 

(What about Hollywood) 

Hollywood's got movie stars and 

Movie czars and cocktail bars and 

Shiny cars and a wonderful climate, they say 

But it hasn't got 

The handy subway train 

You seldom find a taxi 

When it rains 

That's why New York's my home 

Keep your California 

New York's my home, sweet home 

(Geez, what's happening in St.Louis) 

Lots of people like St.Louis 

It's got lots of shoes 

And the St.Louis blues and 

One of our larger rivers runs by 

But it hasn't got the opera in The Met 

It hasn't got a famous string quartet 

That's why New York's my home 

No, not a place to visit 

New York's my home, sweet home 

(San Francisco) 

San Francisco is a lovely place 

It's got lots of hills 

And lots of thrills and it's 

On an ocean of some size 

But it hasn't got 

The Bowery or The Bronx 

It hasn't got the Harlem honkytonks 

That's why New York's my home 

Yeah, it's my favorite city 

New York's my home, sweet home 

So, save your time and trouble 

I say save your railroad fare 

I said save your time and trouble, brother 

Save your railroad fare 

Cause when you leave New York 

Let me say, you ain't going nowhere
