Song by Finbar Furey<br /><br>

VERSE ONE:<br>

<br>

Shipmates listen unto me, I'll tell you in my song <br>

Of the things that happened to me <br>

When I come home from Hong Kong <br>

<br>

CHORUS: <br>

<br>

To me a-weigh, you Santy, My dear Annie <br>

Oh, you New York gals, Can't you dance the polka? <br>

<br>

VERSE TWO: <br>

<br>

As I walked down on Chatham Street a fair maid I did meet <br>

She asked me please to see her home, she lived on Bleeker Street <br>

Now if you'll only come with me you can have a treat <br>

You can have a glass of brandy and something nice to eat <br>

<br>

CHORUS: <br>

VERSE THREE: <br>

<br>

Before we sat down to eat we had several drinks <br>

The liquor was so awful strong I quickly fell asleep <br>

<br>

CHORUS: <br>

VERSE FOUR: <br>

<br>

When I awoke next morning I had an aching head <br>

My gold watch and my pocket-book and my lady friend had fled <br>

In looking round this little room nothing did I see <br>

But a woman's shoes and apron which now belonged to me <br>

<br>

CHORUS: <br>

VERSE FIVE: <br>

<br>

Now dressed in the lady's apron I wandered most forlorn <br>

Till Martin Churchill took me in and he sent me round Cape Horn <br>

<br>

CHORUS: (Twice) <br>

<br>

To me a-weigh, you Santy, My dear Annie <br>

Oh, you New York gals, Can't you dance the polka?<br>

<br>
