Banks Of The Hudson lyrics
Songwriters: Kirwan, Larry;

On the banks of the Hudson
My love and I lay down
Just above 42nd Street
While the rain was pouring down

When I covered her with kisses
The sparks lit up her eyes
We made love like mad angels
While the Jersey trucks rolled by

She said, "Don t you ever leave me
Oh, for god sake don t let me down"
So I made her all kinds of promises
About how I d always be around

But the speed was rippin through my head
I d only one thing on my mind
So goodbye my love on 42nd street
If I don t get out of here, I m gonna die

On the banks of the Hudson
My love and I lay down
Just one more midnight left to kill
Then I m outta New York town

I could feel the ice man closin in
I could almost smell his gun
But that 20 grand I beat him out of
Would help me start again back home

And she said, "Don t you ever leave me
Oh, for god sake don t let me down
Then I thought about what they d do to her
When they found out I d left town

But the fire was racin through my brain
I d only one thing on my mind
So goodbye my love on 42nd Street
If I don t get out of here, I m gonna die

Don t say I should have stayed with her
You don t know the full story about the girl
I only used her just as much as she used me
But sometimes you just gotta get out of New York City

On the banks of the Hudson
My love and I lay down
Just above 42nd street
While the rain was pouring down

When I covered her with kisses
The sparks lit up her eyes
We made love like mad angels
While the Jersey trucks rolled by

And she said, "Don t you ever leave me
Oh, for god sake don t let me down"
But how could I ever take
A black girl back to Wexford town

Just then the streets of fire turned to blood
A yellow Cadillac cruised by
And as I raced up 42nd Street
The ice man shouted, "Hey Paddy, it s time to die"

It s time to
It s time to
It s time to
