 (female)
 Oh  the city snow makes  your brown eyes shine
 We've  gotta look real hard to  find a reason to cry
 New  York, New York is a friend to the traveling kind
 And I'm coming around from years of hard times
 He's chased me down through the towns and the miles
 Once stilled by love he was bound to roll on by
 
 And if you feel my love won't leave you
   And if your sorrow  - has been your share
   If you are traveling  -  back to Georgia
 
   Won't you take - me with you there
 
 (male)
 Well I'm long gone darling, lonesome blue
 I been thinking of leaving, I been thinking of you
 But that big city singing, man I like the way that it shines
 Iwas half a mile from Canada waiting on a train
 Wondering and wishing I could disappear again
 I been killed by love still it takes me to the end of the line
 (female)
 I've been troubled by a love untrue
 Its a fool who will drown in his fountain of youth
 I can see that now as I'm walking and talking with you
 (male)
 I been blinded by the sun, wasted in the rain
 Scattered in America, and I'm scatterin' again
 But if you're going south darling, I guess I'm traveling with you
