about

Every town needs a jazzy blues number that lovers can identify
with. There was only the old capstan shanty New York Girls until now. The girl of my dreams who inspired it doesn’t come from New York though.

lyrics

I often wondered
When I was young
How will I know
When I meet The One?
Well, I came to town
For a one night stand
I saw her face
And took her hand (tag)

I was afraid
That we would part
She followed me
And won my heart
You can search any city
Right around the world
You won’t find none sweeter
Than my New York girl (break)

If I could fly
Like Noah’s dove
I’d fly away
To the one I love
She’s like a flower
That blooms each morn
When I wake beside her
I feel reborn (tag)

I know that if
I should fall down
She’d lift me up
And bring me round
If I live forever
If that ever could be
A more beautiful lover
I never could see (break)

Now I don’t care
Where this road leads
My New York girl
Is all I need
No more I’ll travel
This weary world
I’m going home
To my New York girl

(Tag out)
