New York City Blues Lyrics - Yardbirds

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'd get it on there 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
