New York Girls
Trad arr. Kenny/ Loughlin/ Shaw/ Staines/ Tingey
chorus
I’m away to Santi
My dear Annie
Oh you New York girls
Can’t you dance the polka?
As I went out through Chatam Street
A young girl I did meet
She asked me to take her home
She lived on Blinker Street
And when we go to Blinker Street
We called at forty four
Her mother and her sister there
To meet me at the door
chorus
And when we got inside the house
The drink was passed around
That liquor was so awful strong
Me head went round and round
And then we had another one
Before we sat to eat
That liquor was so awful strong
I quickly fell asleep
chorus
And when I woke next morning
I had an aching head
There I was jack all alone
Stark naked in the bed
I looking round this little room
There’s nothing I can see
But a woman shifting apron
Now sure it’s no use to me
chorus
With a barrel for a suit of clothes
Down Chatam Street forlorn
I met with Martin Churchill
He sent me round Cape Horn
chorus
