Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Everyone in New York City's got a frowning face
And I'm sure glad that I'm just passing through
This old country boy from Oaky sure feels out of place

[Chorus]
That's why I'm singing these New York City blues

[Verse 2]
Now southern hospitality is far behind
A thing these Yankee folks don't ever use
You'll find it somewhere down below that Dixon Line

[Chorus]
Oh Lord I got these New York City blues

[Bridge]
Here comes now

[Verse 3]
This old town sure gets lonely late at night
When your only friend's a rotgut jug of booze
But come daylight in the morning I'll be out of sight

[Chorus]
Lord I got these New York City blues

[Verse]
Yeah, southern hospitality will soon be mine
Because I'm going back where the sidewalks fit my shoes
Mmm, mhm ,mhm, mhm, mhm

[Outro]
I got these New York City blues
