New York City Blues lyrics

(Keith Relf / Chris Dreja)

If you`ve ever been to New York City,

You know what I`m talking about,

Yes you do.

Well, if you`ve ever been to New York City,

You know what I`m talking about,

They got such pretty little girls in that big town,

Make a man wanna jump around and shout.



I met a little girl there,

She was about five foot eight.

I said "I want you to love me."

She said "Why man, that`d be great."

So,

I got long hair but,

She took me back,

Back to see her pad,

But the first thing I saw when I arrived there,

Was a big black shiny shotgun,

In the hands of her dad.



Alright now, this is how it was,

Oh no!



Well alright!



I finally learned my lesson,

Such a long time ago,

Next little woman that I date,

I`ve got to know, I`ve got to know her family too.

Yes indeed, I gotta know her family too.

But if you don`t want to be filled full of shotgun holes,

Mister, this song is just for you.
