Banks Of The Hudson

On the banks of the Hudson
 My love and I lay down
 Just above 42nd Street
 While the rain was pouring down
 When I covered her with kisses
 The sparks lit up her eyes
 We made love like mad angels
 While the Jersey trucks rolled by
 She said, "Don't you ever leave me
 Oh, for god sake don't let me down"
 So I made her all kinds of promises
 About how I'd always be around
 But the speed was rippin' through my head
 I'd only one thing on my mind
 So goodbye my love on 42nd street
 If I don't get out of here, I'm gonna die
 On the banks of the Hudson
 My love and I lay down
 Just one more midnight left to kill
 Then I'm outta New York town
 I could feel the ice man closin' in
 I could almost smell his gun
 But that 20 grand I beat him out of
 Would help me start again back home
 And she said, "Don't you ever leave me
 Oh, for god sake don't let me down
 Then I thought about what they'd do to her
 When they found out I'd left town
 But the fire was racin' through my brain
 I'd only one thing on my mind
 So goodbye my love on 42nd Street
 If I don't get out of here, I'm gonna die
 Don't say I should have stayed with her
 You don't know the full story about the girl
 I only used her just as much as she used me
 But sometimes you just gotta get out of New York City
 On the banks of the Hudson
 My love and I lay down
 Just above 42nd street
 While the rain was pouring down
 When I covered her with kisses
 The sparks lit up her eyes
 We made love like mad angels
 While the Jersey trucks rolled by
 And she said, "Don't you ever leave me
 Oh, for god sake don't let me down"
 But how could I ever take
 A black girl back to Wexford town
 Just then the streets of fire turned to blood
 A yellow Cadillac cruised by
 And as I raced up 42nd Street
 The ice man shouted, "Hey Paddy, it's time to die"
 It's time to
 It's time to
 It's time to
