New York City

Willie Clarke, Clarence Reid

[Intro]
You know, there been a lot of stories told about
The big city of New York
I have my own story to tell
And I want you to dig it

[Verse 1]
I've heard men say
There's not a lonely night or day
In New York City, oh no
Pretty girls everywhere when you're on Times Square
In New York City, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
But there's only one girl there for me
And ooh, I loved her so
But the little girl walked out on me
For someone she wanted more, oh-oh

[Verse 3]
My baby was alright 'til shе saw the bright lights
In New York City, yeah
It's sad to say, but shе went astray
In New York City, oh yes she did

[Verse 4]
And that's why I had to leave her there
Just couldn't take it no longer
And I'm gonna ride this old Greyhound south
Until my heart gets stronger, oh

[Verse 5]
Gotta leave you New York
Oh, I gotta leave you, New York
But I'll be back someday, yeah-yeah
With a smile on my face
Yes I will

[Verse 6]
The bus drivers I must get off in Miami
'Cause that's far as it goes, heh, yeah
With my heart in despair, where will I go from there?
Maybe Key West
But there's one thing I do know

[Outro]
I've gotta leave you New York
Oh, I gotta leave you New York, yeah
But I'll be back someday, yes I will, now
With a smile on my face
You took my love away from me
Yes you did, now
Got my heart in misery
