CAN'T YOU DANCE THE POLKA (from S Slade)

As I walked down the Broadway one evening in July
I met a maid who asked my trade – A sailor John - says I

And away you Johnnie – My dear Annie
O you New York girls, can't you dance the 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 tarry jumper and he ... (?) in the Blackball Line

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