Вступление
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
As I walked down the Broadway
One evening last July
I met a maid who asked me trade
And a sailor lad says I
To Tiffany's I took her
I didn’t mind expense
I bought her a pair of gold earrings
And they cost me fifteen cents
[Chorus]
Away Santee
My Dear Annie
Oh, you New York girls
can't you dance the polka?
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
And she says, 'You Limejuice sailor
Now take me home you may
But when we reached her cottage door
She this to me did say
My flash man he's a Yankee
With his hair cut short behind
He wears a pair of black sea-boots
And he sails in the Blackball Line
[Chorus]
Away Santee
My Dear Annie
Oh, you New York girls
can't you dance the polka?
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
And He's homeward bound this evening
And with me he will stay
So get a move on, sailor-boy
Get cracking on your way
I kissed her hard and proper
Afore her flash man came
So fare thee well, you Bowery girl
I know your little game
[Chorus]
Away Santee
My Dear Annie
Oh, you New York girls
can't you dance the polka?
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
And then I wrapped me glad rags round me
And to the docks did steer
I will never court another girl
I'll stick to rum and beer
I joined a Yankee blood-boat
And sailed away next morn
Don't mess around with women boys
You're safer ‘round Cape Horn
[Chorus]
Away Santee
My Dear Annie
Oh, you New York girls
can't you dance the polka?
[Chorus]
Away Santee
My Dear Annie
Oh, you New York girls
can't you dance the polka?
[Outro]
