Gaelic Storm - New York Girls

      
 
 G                            C 
 As I walked down the Broadway
             G        D 
 One evening last July
 G               C              
 I met a maid who asked me trade
             G      D   G 
 And a sailor lad says I
 
 To Tiffany's I took her
 I didnt mind expense
 I bought her a pair of gold earrings
 And they cost me fifteen cents
 
 Chorus
 Away Santee
 My Dear Annie
 Oh, you New York girls
 can't you dance the polka?
 ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/gaelic_storm/new_york_girls_crd.html )
 And she says, 'You Limejuice sailor
 Now see me home you may'
 But when we reached her cottage door
 She this to me did say
 
 My flash man he's a Yankee
 With his hair cut short behind
 He wears a pair of black sea-boots
 And he sails in the Blackball Line
 
 Chorus
 
 And He's homeward bound this evening
 And with me he will stay
 So get a move on, sailor-boy
 Get cracking on your way
 
 I kissed her hard and proper
 Afore her flash man came
 So fare thee well, you Bowery girl
 I know your little game
 
 Chorus
 
 And then I wrapped me glad rags round me
 And to the docks did steer
 I will never court another girl
 I'll stick to rum and beer
 
 I joined a Yankee blood-boat
 And sailed away next morn
 Don't mess around with women boys
 You're safer round Cape Horn
