Luyện nghe bài hát Streets Of New York

I was 18yrs old
I went to Dublin with a fistful
Of and a cartload of dreams
"Take your time" me father
Stop rushing like and remember all is not what it seems to be
For there's fellas that cut ye for the coat on yer back
or the watch that you got from your mother so take me young bucko
And mind yourself well and will ya give wee note to me brother

At the time Benjy was a policeman in Brooklyn
And me father the youngest, looked after the
When a phonecall America said
the lad over'
And the oul fella said 'Sure wouldn't do any harm' for I've spent me life working this dirty old
For a few pints of porter and the smell of a
sure maybe something you'll learn or you'll see
And you can bring it back make it easy on me

So I landed at Kennedy and a big yellow
Carried me and me bags the streets and the rain
Well me poor was thumpin around with excitement
And I hardly even heard the driver was sayin
We came in the Parkway to the faltlands of Brooklyn
To me Uncle's apartment on East
I was feeling so happy I was humming a song and I sang "You're as as a bird"

Well to shorten the story what I found out that day was that Benjy was shot down in an uptown foray and I was flying my way to New York
Poor Benjy was in a cold city morgue.
I phoned up the old fella told him the news
I tell he could
Hardly stand up in his shoes and he wept as he me
'Go with the plans
And not to be a proud Irish man'

So I went to Nellies beside Fordham road and i to learn about lifting the load
But the thing that I carried that year
Was the bittersweet thought of my so dear
I went home that December 'cause the oul died
Had to borrow the money from on the side
And all the bright flowers and brass hide
The poor wasted of me father

I sold up the oul for what it was worth and into my bag stuck
A handful of earth then I boarded a train and I me a plane
And I found meself back in the US
been 22yrs since
I've set in Dublin
Me kids to use the correct knife and fork
But I'll never forget the green and the rivers
As I law and order in the streets of New York.
