Irish Song Lyrics And Chords-Trad. Recorded by The Fureys with Finbar doing the singing. The tin whistle sheet music notes are included. Finbar sang this song in the key of E Major.
[G]As I walked down the[C] Broadway one[D] evening in Ju[G]ly
I met a maid who[C] asked my trade – A [D7]sailor John - says[G] I

[G]And away you[C] Johnnie – My[D] dear[G] Annie
O you[C] New York girls,[D7] can't you dance the[G] polka

To Tiffany's I took her, I did not mind expense
An' I bought her two gold ear-rings, and they cost me fifty cents

And away you Johnnie – My dear Annie
O you New York girls, can't you dance the polka?

Says she - You lime-juice sailor, now see me home you may
But when we reached her cottage door, she unto me did say

And away you Johnnie – My dear Annie
O you New York girls, can't you dance the polka?

She says her man's a Yankee, with his hair cut short behind
And he wears a pair of tall sea boots and he sails in the Blackball Line

And away you Johnnie – My dear Annie
O you New York girls, can't you dance the polka?

New york girls can you dance the polka sheet music
Here are the guitar chords for the Finbar Furey version in the youtube video.

[E]As I walked down through Chatham Street a [E]fair maid I did [A]meet
She asked me to [D]see her home she [E]lived in Bleeker [A]Street

[A]And away [D]Santy – [E]My dear[A] Annie
O you[D] New York girls,[E] can't you dance the[A] polka
new york girls dance the polka sheet music
