02 Talkin' New York
[00:11.35] Ramblin’ outa the wild West
[00:13.10] Leavin’ the towns I love the best
[00:14.86] Thought I’d seen some ups and downs
[00:16.60] ’Til I come into New York town
[00:20.61] People goin’ down to the ground
[00:23.85] Buildings goin’ up to the sky
[00:32.60] Wintertime in New York town
[00:35.10] The wind blowin’ snow around
[00:37.10] Walk around with nowhere to go
[00:38.85] Somebody could freeze right to the bone
[00:41.86] I froze right to the bone
[00:45.85] New York Times said it was the coldest winter in seventeen years
[00:50.85] I didn’t feel so cold then
[00:59.85] I swung onto my old guitar
[01:01.60] Grabbed hold of a subway car
[01:04.09] And after a rocking, reeling, rolling ride
[01:05.60] I landed up on the downtown side
[01:09.35] Greenwich Village
[01:22.60] I walked down there and ended up
[01:24.27] In one of them coffee-houses on the block
[01:26.52] Got on the stage to sing and play
[01:28.25] Man there said, “Come back some other day
[01:31.00] You sound like a hillbilly
[01:35.42] We want folk singers here”
[01:48.17] Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play
[01:50.39] Blowin’ my lungs out for a dollar a day
[01:52.16] I blowed inside out and upside down
[01:53.90] The man there said he loved m’ sound
[01:57.40] He was ravin’ about how he loved m’ sound
[02:01.66] Dollar a day’s worth
[02:11.66] And after weeks and weeks of hangin’ around
[02:13.15] I finally got a job in New York town
[02:15.40] In a bigger place, bigger money too
[02:16.90] Even joined the union and paid m’ dues
[02:21.40] Now, a very great man once said
[02:23.15] That some people rob you with a fountain pen
[02:25.40] It didn’t take too long to find out
[02:27.14] Just what he was talkin’ about
[02:31.40] A lot of people don’t have much food on their table
[02:35.40] But they got a lot of forks ’n’ knives
[02:38.66] And they gotta cut somethin’
[02:48.40] So one mornin’ when the sun was warm
[02:50.40] I rambled out of New York town
[02:52.65] Pulled my cap down over my eyes
[02:54.15] And headed out for the western skies
[02:58.76] So long, New York
[03:04.00] Howdy, East Orange
