Ah, you're too polite. It's New York "Girls." Search under that term in the database and you'll find what you're looking for. -Joe-

This little song is located on an album entitled "Across the sea to Ireland" by Michael "Jesse" Owens, Rego Irish Records Cat # 21000 (tel no. 516-328-7800). Also, Michael "Jesse" Owens still owns Diamond Jim Brady's Pub in lower Manhattan where he performs during the weekends with this band, just in case you have a problem locating the record, he can get you one.

Sorry I can't do notes, but some backround might be intersting. It was sung either at the capstan or the windlass & according to Doerflinger goes back to the 1830's when a new dance called the Polka became the craze.Later versions had the chours altered to Oh you New York Girls You Love Us For Our Money.

Small group that should be better known called "Broadside Electric" has this on both of their albums in fact. Somewhat different version. I happen to like the version on "Black-Edged Visiting Card" better, but the one on "Amplificato," (?) is also good. Check them out, if you like the song.

Verse : (C) They gave wine (F) it tasted fine (G) it went (C) right to my head (F) then they peeled (G) the clothes off me & took me right to bed (C). Chours: Away you Santy (F) my (G) dear Anny (C) Oh you (F) New York Girls, can't (G) you dance the Polka (C). I'm not good with cords & notes so this should be close but you may have to play around with it a bit (Ha Ha ). good luck.
