Banks Of The Hudson lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Banks Of The Hudson lyrics Songwriters: Kirwan, Larry; 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 song lyrics
