Streets of New York - Bagatelle
I was eighteen years old
When I went down to Dublin
With a fistfull of money
And a cartload of dreams
Take your time
Said me father
Stop rushing like hell
And remember all is not
What it hardly even heard what the driver was sayin
We came in the Shore Parkway
To the faltlands of Brooklyn
To me uncle's apartment on East 53rd
I was feeling so happy I was humming a song
And I sang You're as free as a bird
Well to shorten the story what I found out that
Day then she got was shot down in an uptown
Foray and while I was flying my way to New York
Poor Benjy was lying in a cold city morgue
Well I phoned up the old fella told him the news
I could tell he could
Hardly stand up in his shoes
And he wept as he told me
'Go ahead with the plans
And not to forget be a proud Irish man'
So I went to Nellies beside Fordham road and
I started to learn about lifting the load
But the heaviest thing that I carried that year
Was the bittersweet thought of my hometown so dear
I went home that December 'cause the oul fella died
Had to borrow the money from Phil on the side
And all the bright flowers and brass couldn't hide
The poor wasted face of me father
I sold up the oul farmyard for what it
Was worth and into my bag stuck
A handful of earth I got you a train
And that I caught me a plane
I found meself back in the US again
It's been 22yrs since
I've set foot in Dublin
Me kids know to use the correct knife and fork
But I'll never forget the green grass and the rivers
As I keep law and order in the streets of New York
