Oh the city snow makes your brown eyes shine
|
We've gotta look real hard to find a reason to cry
|
New York, New York is a friend of the traveling kind
|
|
And I'm coming around from years of hard times
|
He's chased me down through the towns and the miles
|
Once stilled by love he was bound to roll on by
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And if you feel my love won't leave you
|
And if your sorrow has been your share
|
If you are traveling back to Georgia
|
Won't you take me with you there
|
|
Well I'm long gone darlin', lonesome blue
|
I been thinking of leavin', I been thinkin' of you
|
But that big city singin', man, I like the way that it shines
|
|
I was half a mile from Canada waitin' on a train
|
Wonderin' and wishin' I could disappear again
|
I been killed by love till it takes me to the end of the line
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Well, I've been troubled by a love untrue
|
He's a fool who'll drown in his fountain of youth
|
I can see that now as I'm walkin' and talkin' with you
|
|
Well, I been blinded by the sun, washed in the rain
|
Scattered in America, I'm scatterin' again
|
But if you're goin' south darlin' I guess I'm travelin with you
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
|
Take me with you...
|
Oh... won't you take me home
|
