***INTRO: (female) Oh the city snow makes your brown eyes shine We've gotta look real hard to find a reason to cry New York, New York is a friend to the traveling kind And I'm coming around from years of hard times He's chased me down through the towns and the miles Once stilled by love he was bound to roll on by And if you feel my love won't leave you And if your sorrow - has been your share If you are traveling - back to Georgia Won't you take - me with you there ***Instrumental: (male) Well I'm long gone darling, lonesome blue I been thinking of leaving, I been thinking of you But that big city singing, man I like the way that it shines Iwas half a mile from Canada waiting on a train Wondering and wishing I could disappear again I been killed by love still it takes me to the end of the line -CHORUS- (female) I've been troubled by a love untrue Its a fool who will drown in his fountain of youth I can see that now as I'm walking and talking with you (male) I been blinded by the sun, wasted in the rain Scattered in America, and I'm scatterin' again But if you're going south darling, I guess I'm traveling with you ***CHORUS 2xs and fade out***
