Talking New York (Live)

[00:12.59]Rambling out of the wild west
[00:14.74]Leaving the towns I love best
[00:16.88]Thought I'd seen some ups and down
[00:18.54]'Till I come into New York town
[00:22.23]Little the winter come down
[00:25.30]New York town
[00:31.86]Well wintertime in New York town
[00:35.33]The wind blowing snow around
[00:37.59]Walk around with nowhere to go
[00:40.52]I froze right to the bone
[00:45.43]Just could believe it was so cold
[00:48.16]New York Times said it was the
[00:49.40]Coldest winter in seventeen years
[00:52.52]I didn't feel so cold then
[01:01.41]Grabbed hold of a subway car
[01:03.98]I swung on to my old guitar
[01:06.44]And after a rocking reeling rolling ride
[01:08.52]I landed up on the downtown side
[01:11.67]Greenwich Village
[01:17.55]So cold
[01:25.64]I walked down there and ended up
[01:27.49]In one of them coffee houses on the block
[01:29.57]Got on the stage to sing and play
[01:31.58]Man there said
[01:32.20]We can use a day
[01:33.61]Come back some other day
[01:35.95]You sound like a hillbilly anyway
[01:39.08]We want folksingers here
[01:50.20]Well I got a harmonica job begun to play
[01:53.25]Blowing my lungs out for a dollar a day
[01:55.27]I blowed inside out and upside down
[01:56.49]The man there said
[01:58.31]He loved my sound whole like
[02:02.00]Dollar a day's worth
[02:08.62]After weeks and weeks of hanging around
[02:10.65]I finally got a job in New York town
[02:14.78]In a bigger place bigger money too
[02:16.76]Even joined the Union and paid my dues
[02:21.71]Now a very great man once said
[02:24.39]That some people rob you with a fountain pen
[02:28.22]It don't take too long to find out
[02:30.38]Just what he was talking about
[02:34.31]A lot of people don't
[02:35.07]Have much food on their table
[02:38.07]They got a lot of forks
[02:40.62]And got a lot of knives
[02:43.92]And they gotta cut something
[02:56.70]So one morning when the sun was warm
[02:59.04]I rambled out of New York town
[03:01.33]Pulled my cap down over my eyes
[03:03.12]And heated out for the western skies
[03:05.95]So long New York
[03:11.63]Howdy East Orange
Rambling out of the wild west
Leaving the towns I love best
Thought I'd seen some ups and down
'Till I come into New York town
Little the winter come down
New York town
Well wintertime in New York town
The wind blowing snow around
Walk around with nowhere to go
I froze right to the bone
Just could believe it was so cold
New York Times said it was the
Coldest winter in seventeen years
I didn't feel so cold then
Grabbed hold of a subway car
I swung on to my old guitar
And after a rocking reeling rolling ride
I landed up on the downtown side
Greenwich Village
So cold
I walked down there and ended up
In one of them coffee houses on the block
Got on the stage to sing and play
Man there said
We can use a day
Come back some other day
You sound like a hillbilly anyway
We want folksingers here
Well I got a harmonica job begun to play
Blowing my lungs out for a dollar a day
I blowed inside out and upside down
The man there said
He loved my sound whole like
Dollar a day's worth

Pulled my cap down over my eyes
And heated out for the western skies
So long New York
