As I went down to Broadway one evening last July
I met a maid who asked my trade, a sailor lad said I
To Tiffineya??s I took her I did not mind expense
I bought her a pair of gold earrings and they cost me 15 cents

And away you sent me, my dear Annie.
O you New York girls cana??t you dance the polka.
And away sent me, my dear Annie.
O you New York girls cana??t you dance the polka.
To your left, to your right, to your left, to your right, to your left, to your right!

She said a??my fine new sailor now take me home you maya??
But when I reached her cottage door she answered me this way,
a??My young man hea??s a Yankee with hair cut short behind
My young man is a sailor and he sails in the black bow line.a??

And away sent me, my dear Annie.

O you New York girls cana??t you dance the polka.
And away sent me, my dear Annie.
O you New York girls cana??t you dance the polka.
Spin around!
[fiddles play a??St. Annea??s Reela??]

I joined a Yankee blood boat and sailed away next morn
Dona??t mess around with New York girls youa??re safer round Cape Horn.
I wrapped my rags around me and to the docks did steer
Ia??ll never court another girl, Ia??ll stick to rum and beer.

And away sent me, my dear Annie.
O you New York girls cana??t you dance the polka.
And away sent me, my dear Annie.
O you New York girls cana??t you dance the polka.
