Gaelic Storm – New York Girls chords
Chords:
New York GirlsG CAs I walked down the BroadwayG DOne evening last JulyG CI met a maid who asked me tradeG D GAnd a sailor lad says ITo Tiffany's I took her I didn’t mind expense I bought her a pair of gold earrings And they cost me fifteen cents Chorus Away Santee My Dear Annie Oh, you New York girls can't you dance the polka? And she says, 'You Limejuice sailor Now see me home you may' But when we reached her cottage door She this to me did say My flash man he's a Yankee With his hair cut short behind He wears a pair of black sea-boots And he sails in the Blackball Line Chorus And He's homeward bound this evening And with me he will stay So get a move on, sailor-boy Get cracking on your way I kissed her hard and proper Afore her flash man came So fare thee well, you Bowery girl I know your little game Chorus And then I wrapped me glad rags round me And to the docks did steer I will never court another girl I'll stick to rum and beer I joined a Yankee blood-boat And sailed away next morn Don't mess around with women boys You're safer ‘round Cape Horn
