[00:04.03] New York City
[00:06.05]
[00:09.03] She came to me shortly after Christmas,
[00:14.92] Said she hated spoiling New Year's Eve.
[00:21.35] But the truth doesn't wait to come in season
[00:27.21] And what we had feared was now believed
[00:33.15] She said she'd leave come Monday morning,
[00:39.55] Catch a plane if I'd split the fair.
[00:45.30] She had friends who lived in New York City.
[00:51.58] She'd look them up and have the baby there.
[00:57.66] And now she's alone in New York City,
[01:03.93] Living like… Lord, I wonder how.
[01:09.70] An angel in hell in New York City,
[01:16.10] But I can't think about that now.
[01:25.27] Honey, will you tell him Bible stories
[01:31.40] And give him all the love I never could?
[01:37.18] And never tell him too much about his daddy
[01:43.56] 'Cause there's not too much to say that's good.
[01:49.62] He'll have to learn it all from his mother:
[01:55.92] How to count and say his ABC's.
[02:01.64] But when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime,
[02:08.09] Leave off "God bless Daddy," won't you please?
[02:13.79] And now they're alone in New York City,
[02:20.19] Living like Lord… I wonder how.
[02:26.28] Two angels in hell in New York City,
[00:04.03] New York City
[00:06.05]
[00:09.03] She came to me shortly after Christmas,
[00:14.92] Said she hated spoiling New Year' s Eve.
[00:21.35] But the truth doesn' t wait to come in season
[00:27.21] And what we had feared was now believed
[00:33.15] She said she' d leave come Monday morning,
[00:39.55] Catch a plane if I' d split the fair.
