lirik lagu hard times in new york – bob dylan
[verse 1]
come you ladies and you gentlemen, a-listen to my song
sing it to you right, but you might think it’s wrong
just a little glimpse of a story i’ll tell
’bout an east coast city that you all know well
it’s hard times in the city
living’ down in new york town
[verse 2]
old new york city is a friendly old town
from washington heights to harlem on down
there’s a-mighty many people all milling’ all around
they’ll kick you when you’re up and knock you when you’re down
it’s hard times in the city
living’ down in new york town
[verse 3]
it’s a mighty long ways from the golden gate
to rockefeller plaza ’n’ the empire state
mister rockefeller sets up as high as a bird
old mister empire never says a word
it’s hard times from the country
living down in new york town
[verse 4]
well, it’s up in the morning trying to find a job of work
stand in one place till your feet begin to hurt
if you got a lot o’ money you can make yourself merry
if you only got a nickel, it’s the staten island ferry
and it’s hard times in the city
living down in new york town
[verse 5]
mister hudson come a-sailing down the stream
and old mister minuet paid for his dream
bought your city on a one-way track
’f i had my way i’d sell it right back
and it’s hard times in the city
living down in new york town
[verse 6]
i’ll take all the smog in cal-i-for-ne-ay
’n’ every bit of dust in the oklahoma plains
’n’ the dirt in the caves of the rocky mountain mines
it’s all much cleaner than the new york kind
and it’s hard times in the city
living down in new york town
[verse 7]
so all you newsy people, spread the news around
you can listen to m’ story, listen to m’ song
you can step on my name, you can try ’n’ get me beat
when i leave new york, i’ll be standing’ on my feet
and it’s hard times in the city
living down in new york town
