New York Boy Lyrics

Album - Touching Me Touching You - #9 in Australia
and # 30 in USA in 1969.
INTRO: D G A G A...D G A....D G A G A...D G A..
CHORUS:
New York City, look at me now..
I'm being stared at from behind the plow.
Mississ..ippi, don't get annoyed..
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy.
#1.
Didn't want the mayor to come..or a big brass band
to greet me.
But then the reception I got..well, it wasn't what I
had in mind.
People gawkin' at me, like I'm talkin' strange.
Me, I ain't much better..cause I'm thinkin' the same.
Hey, boy!
CHORUS:
New York City, look at me now..
I'm being stared at from behind the plow.
Mississ..ippi, don't get annoyed..
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy.
#2.
Sayin' y'all and eatin' on grits..talkin' as slow as molasses.
And all the time, just pointing at me..and the hair growin'
over my ears.
BRIDGE:
Gets my mind to wonderin', just who's right and who's wrong.
I guess if they'll get used to the sideburns, I'll get used
to the corn. Hey, boy!
CHORUS:
New York City, look at me now..
I'm being stared at from behind the plow.
Mississ..ippi, don't get annoyed..
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy.
CHORUS:
New York City, look at me now..
I'm being stared at from behind the plow.
Mississ..ippi, don't get annoyed..
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy.
OUTRO:
New York City, look at me now..
I'm being stared at from behind the plow.
Mississ..ippi, don't get annoyed..
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy. (Fade.)
