[Verse]
                         D
As I walked down through Chatham 
Street
  E7              A
A fair maid I did meet
                Bm7
She asked me to see her home
    E7                A
She lived in Bleecker Street

[Chorus]
             D
And away you santy
E7      A
My dear honey
        Bm7
Oh, you New York girls
E7                  A
Can't you dance the polka?

[Verse]
                   D
And when we got to Bleecker Street
   E7               A
We stopped at forty-four
                   Bm7
Her mother and her sister there
   E7              A
To meet her at the door

[Chorus]
             D
And away you santy
E7      A
My dear honey
        Bm7
Oh, you New York girls
E7                  A
Can't you dance the polka?

[Verse]
                  D
And when we got inside the house
    E7                  A
The drinks were passed around
                  Bm7
The liquor was so awful strong
   E7                  A
My head went round and round

[Chorus]
             D
And away you santy

My dear honey
        Bm7
Oh, you New York girls
E7                  A
Can't you dance the polka?

[Verse]
                 D
And then we had another drink
  E7             A
Before we sat to eat
                  Bm7
The liquor was so awful strong
  E7            A
I quickly fell asleep

[Chorus]
             D
And away you santy
E7      A
My dear honey
        Bm7
Oh, you New York girls
E7                  A
Can't you dance the polka?

[Verse]
                  D
When I awoke next morning
  E7            A
I had an aching head
                  Bm7
There was I, Jack all alone
      E7          A
Stark naked in me bed

[Chorus]
             D
And away you santy
E7      A
My dear honey
        Bm7
Oh, you New York girls
E7                  A
Can't you dance the polka?

[Verse]
                     D
My gold watch and my pocketbook
    E7               A
And lady friend were gone
                      Bm7
And there was I, Jack all alone
      E7           A
Stark naked in the room

[Chorus]
             D
And away you santy
E7      A
My dear honey
        Bm7
Oh, you New York girls
E7                  A
Can't you dance the polka?

[Verse]
                      D
On looking round this little room
        E7              A
There's nothing I could see
                        Bm7
But a woman's shift and apron
     E7             A
That were no use to me

[Chorus]
             D
And away you santy
E7      A
My dear honey
        Bm7
Oh, you New York girls
E7                  A
Can't you dance the polka?

[Verse]
                          D
With a flour barrel for a suit of 
clothes
     E7                A
Down Cherry Street, forlorn
                       Bm7
There Martin Churchill took me in
    E7                  A
And sent me 'round Cape Horn

[Chorus]
             D
And away you santy
E7      A
My dear honey
        Bm7
Oh, you New York girls
E7                  A
Can't you dance the polka?
