New York City Blues

(专辑： Blues Cross Country - 1962)

Once I said goodbye
To New York City
Sweet city
I said goodbye

But I got to get back to you
If I have to walk
Or crawl or fly
I can't say goodbye to New York City
Sweet city
Something's got to give

They say it's a great place to visit
But my heart tells me it's a better place to live

If I come by plane I can see those buildings high
And if I come by boat I can really heave aside
And if I come by train I can watch those streets go by
And if I land in the airport come in the skyway
Catch a cab that's going my way
Love the busy home yes this is my day
New York is my town
Yes, New York, New York is my town

And I'll go uptown, downtown
In this big happy-sad town
They love to go uptown, downtown
In this big happy-sad town
Eastside, Westside
All around the town

I love the people, yes the people
And all they make that big town swing
In the autumn, in the winter
In the summer, in the spring

Yeah the people are everything

And I'll go uptown, downtown
Oh I'll go uptown, downtown
Eastside, Westside
New York is my city

New York!
