On the of the Hudson My love and I lay above 42nd Street While the rain was down
When I covered her kisses The lit up her eyes We made like mad angels While the Jersey rolled by
She said, "Don't you leave me Oh, for god don't let me down" So I made her all of promises About how I'd always be
But the speed was through my head I'd one thing on my mind So my love on 42nd street If I get out of here, I'm gonna die
On the of the Hudson My and I lay down Just one more midnight to kill Then I'm outta New town
I could feel the ice man in I could smell his gun But that 20 I beat him out of Would help me start back home
And she said, "Don't you ever me Oh, for god don't let me down Then I about what they'd do to her When found out I'd left town
But the fire was racin' my brain I'd only one thing on my So goodbye my on 42nd Street If I don't get out of here, I'm die
Don't say I should have stayed her You don't know the story about the girl I only used her as much as she used me But sometimes you just gotta get out of New City
On the of the Hudson My and I lay down Just above street While the was pouring down
I covered her with kisses The sparks lit up her We made love like mad While the trucks rolled by
And she said, "Don't you ever me Oh, for god sake let me down" But how could I take A black girl back to town
Just then the of fire turned to blood A yellow cruised by And as I up 42nd Street The ice man shouted, "Hey Paddy, time to die"
time to It's to It's to ...
