NEW YORK TOWN
(Testo e musica di Woody Guthrie)


I was standing down in New York town one day,
Standing down in New York town one day,
I was standing down in New York town one day,
Singing hey, hey, hey, hey.

I was broke, I didn't have a dime,
I was broke, I didn't have a dime,
I was broke, I didn't have a dime,
Singing hey, hey, hey, hey.

Ev'ry good man gets a little hard luck sometimes,
Ev'ry good man gets a little hard luck sometimes,
Ev'ry good man gets a little hard luck sometimes,
Singing hey, hey, hey, hey.

Down and out and he ain't got a dime,
Down and out and he ain't got a dime,
Down and out and he ain't got a dime,
Singing hey, hey, hey, hey.

I'm gonna ride that new morning railroad,
I'm gonna ride that new morning train,
I'm gonna ride that new morning train,
Singing hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey,hey,
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho,
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho,
Hey, hey, hey,hey,

Never coming back to this man's town again,
Never coming back to this man's town again,
Never coming back to this man's town again,
Singing hey, hey, hey, hey.
