Hard Times In New York Town - Bob Dylan
Come you ladies and you gentlemen,
a-listen to my song.
Sing it to you right,
but you might think it's wrong.
Just a little glimpse of a story I'll tell
Bout an east coast city that you all know well.
It's hard in times from the country
Livin down in new york town.
Old new york city a is friendly old town,
From washington heights to harlem on down.
Theres a-mighty many people all millin all around,
They'll kick you when you're up
and knock you when you're down.
It's hard times form the country,
Livin down in new york town.
Well, the weak and the strong
and the rich and the poor
Gather together, ain't room for no more
Crowded up above, crowded down below
And when someone disappears,
you never even know
It's hard times from the country
Livin' down in New York town
It's a mighty long ways from the Golden Gate
To Rockefeller Plaza an' the Empire State
Mister Empire sets up as high as a bird
And old Mister Rockefeller never says a word
It's hard times from the country
Livin' down in New York town
Well, it's up in the mornin',
tryin' to fins a job of work
Stand in one place
till your feet begin to hurt
If you got a lot o' money
you can make yourself merry
If you only got a nickel,
it's the Staten Island Ferry
It's hard times from the country
Livin' down in New York town
I'll take all the smog in Californeay
An' every bit of dust in the Oklahoma plains
An' the dirt in the caves of
the Rocky Mountain mines
It's all much cleaner than the New York kind
It's hard times in the country
Livin' down in New York town
Mister Hudson come a-sailin' down the stream
And old Mister Minuet paid for his dream
Bought your city on a one-way track
'F I had my way, I'd sell it right back
It's hard times from the country
Livin' down in New York town
Said all you newsy people
that spread the news around
You listen to my story, you listen to my song
You can step on my name,
you can try an' get me beat
When I leave New York,
I'll be standin' on my feet
It's hard times from the country
Livin' down in New York town
