[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?

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
