[C] As I walked out on [F] Broadway one [G] evening in Ju-[C]ly
I met a maid who [F] asked my trade, A [G7] sailor lad says [C] I
[C] And away you [F] Sandy, my [G] dear [C] Annie
O you [F] New York girls, [G7] can't you dance the [C] polka
[C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G7] [C].
To [C] Tiffany's I [F] took her, I [G] did not mind ex-[C]pense,
I bought her two gold [F] ear-rings, they [G7] cost me fifty [C] cents
[C] And away you [F] Sandy, my [G] dear [C] Annie
O you [F] New York girls, [G7] can't you dance the [C] polka
[C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G7] [C].
[C] Says she - You lime-juice [F] sailor, now [G] see me home you [C] may
But when we reached her [F] cottage door, she [G7] unto me did [C] say
[C] And away you [F] Sandy, my [G] dear [C] Annie
O you [F] New York girls, [G7] can't you dance the [C] polka
[C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G7] [C].
I walked her home to Beaker Street, she lived at number 4
Her mother and her sister came to greet us at the door
[C] And away you [F] Sandy, my [G] dear [C] Annie
O you [F] New York girls, [G7] can't you dance the [C] polka
[C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G7] [C]
And when I got inside the house, the drinks were passed around.
The liquor came so strong and quick, my head went round and round.
[C] And away you [F] Sandy, my [G] dear [C] Annie
O you [F] New York girls, [G7] can't you dance the [C] polka
[C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G7] [C]

And then we had another drink, before we sat to eat.
The liquor was so awful strong, I quickly fell asleep.
[C] And away you [F] Sandy, my [G] dear [C] Annie
O you [F] New York girls, [G7] can't you dance the [C] polka
[C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G7] [C]
When I awoke next morning, I had an aching head.
and there was I all alone, Stark naked in my bed.
[C] And away you [F] Sandy, my [G] dear [C] Annie
O you [F] New York girls, [G7] can't you dance the [C] polka
[C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G7] [C]
My gold watch and my wallet, and lady friend were gone.
And there was I without a stitch, or a cent to call my own
[C] And away you [F] Sandy, my [G] dear [C] Annie
O you [F] New York girls, [G7] can't you dance the [C] polka
[C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G7] [C]
.
On looking round this little room, there's nothing I could see,
But a woman's shift and apron that were no use to me.
[C] And away you [F] Sandy, my [G] dear [C] Annie
O you [F]New York girls, [G7] can't you dance the [C] polka
[C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G7] [C]
With a flour barrel for a suit of clothes down Cherry Street forlorn,
There Martin Churchill took me in and sent me round Cape Horn
[C] And away you [F] Sandy, my [G] dear [C] Annie
O you [F]New York girls, [G7] can't you dance the [C] polka
[C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G7] [C]
[C] She said her man's a [F] Yankee, with a [G7] pony tail be-[C]hind,
he wears a pair of [F] tall sea boots and he [G7] sails in the Blackball [C] Line
[C] And away you [F] Sandy, my [G] dear [C] Annie
O you [F] New York girls, [G7] can't you dance the [C] polka
