New York City Life

"New York City Life" Lyrics by Tony Wilson

Eddy is dead! Is Eddy dead? Ooh, not again!





Eddy is dead shot in the head for a dollar.


Who is going to tell his Mom; who is going to tell his wife?


Eddy is dead hit in the head by a brother.


Who is going to tell his Mom; who is going to tell his wife?


She was only seventeen when she met will


She was one, and the only love


But she got a mean, mean, mean hustler man


And when her Mom said girl you are too young


Is while, while, and while ago





Lights of New York City shine so bright





Mom said: what are you going to do in the city?


And what are you going to do about money?


It is easy to be wrapped up in life of sinning and shame


Mom cried – what are you going to do in the city, girl?


What are you going to do about money?


It is easy to be wrapped up in life of sinning and shame


Because, he will gamble, steal and fight in New York City night


Living in the city is so heavy it weights you down


One of the games that he will play a dollar a time nearly every day


Shooting a pool and cheating for a dime, when that shot ran out,


When that shot ran out; when that shot ran out!





Eddy is dead shot in the head for a dollar.


Who is going to tell his Mom; who is going to tell his wife?


Eddy is dead hit in the head by a brother – by a brother.


Who is going to tell his Mom; who is going to tell his wife?


What are you going to do in the city?


What are you going to do about money?





It is easy to be wrapped up in life of sinning and shame





Mom cried – what are you going to do in the city, girl?


And what are you going to do about money?


It is easy to be wrapped up in life of sinning and shame
