If I die in New York city Bury me on the Battery The pretty girls on Brooklyn ferry Ask them all to weep for me I'll be smiling brother When they lay me down Cause I lived my life In New York town Say it again I'll be smiling brother When they lay me down Cause I lived my life In New York town And I'll be smiling brother When they lay me down Cause I lived my life In New York town I'll be smiling brother When they lay me down Cause I lived my life In New York town Because I lived my life In New York town
