Hard Times In New York Town --Bob Dylan
Come you ladies and you gentlemen a-listen to my song
Sing it to you right but you might think its wrong
Just a little glimpse of a story Ill tell
Bout an east coast city that you all know well
Its hard times in the city
Livin down in new york town
Old new york city is a friendly old town
From washington heights to harlem on down
Theres a-mighty many people all millin all around
Theyll kick you when youre up and knock you when youre down
Its hard times in the city
Livin down in new york town
Its a mighty long ways from the golden gate
To rockefeller plaza n the empire state
Mister rockefeller sets up as high as a bird
Old mister empire never says a word
Its hard times from the country
Livin down in new york town
Well its up in the mornin tryin to fins a job of work
Stand in one place till your feet begin to hurt
If you go a lot o money you can make yourself merry
If you only got a nickel its the staten island ferry
And its hard times in the city
Livin down in new york town
Mister hudson come a-sailin down the stream
And old mister minuet paid for his dream
Bought your city on a one-way track
F I had my way Id sell it right back
And its hard times in the city
Livin down in new york town
Ill take all the smog in cal-i-for-ne-ay
N every bit of dust in the oklahoma plains
N the dirt in the caves of the rocky mountain mines
Its all much cleaner than the new york kind
And its hard times in the city
Livin down in new york town
So all you newsy people spread the news around
You cn listen to m story listen to m song
You cn step on my name you cn try n get me beat
When I leave new york Ill be standin on my feet
And its hard times in the city
Livin down in new york town
