New York City Blues — текст песни (The Yardbirds)

(Keith Relf / Chris Dreja)
If you`ve ever been to New York City,
You know what I`m talking about,
Yes you do.
Well, if you`ve ever been to New York City,
You know what I`m talking about,
They got such pretty little girls in that big town,
Make a man wanna jump around and shout.

I met a little girl there,
She was about five foot eight.
I said "I want you to love me."
She said "Why man, that`d be great."
So,
I got long hair but,
She took me back,
Back to see her pad,
But the first thing I saw when I arrived there,
Was a big black shiny shotgun,
In the hands of her dad.

Alright now, this is how it was,
Oh no!

Well alright!

I finally learned my lesson,
Such a long time ago,
Next little woman that I date,
I`ve got to know, I`ve got to know her family too.
Yes indeed, I gotta know her family too.
But if you don`t want to be filled full of shotgun holes,
Mister, this song is just for you.
