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
