Burl Ives - New York Girls

Shipmates, listen unto me: I'll tell you in the song 
Of things that happened to me when I come home from Hong Kong. 

Chorus: 
To me way, you Santy, my dear Annie. 
Oh, you New York girls, can't you dance the polka? 

As I walked down to Chatham Street, a fair maid I did meet, 
Who asked me, please, to see her home: she lived on Bleecker Street. 

???Now, if you'll only come with me, you can have a treat: 
You can have a glass of brandy and something nice to eat.??? 

Before we sat down to eat, we had several drinks. 
The liquor was so awful strong, I quickly fell asleep. 

When I awoke next mornin' I had an achin' head. 
My gold watch and my pocketbook and the lady friend had fled. 

On a-looking around this little room, nothing I could see 
But a woman's shoes and apron which now belonged to me 

Now dressed in the ladys apron, I wandered most forlorn 
???Til Martin Churchill took me in and he sent me ???round Cape Horn.
