New York City

She came to me shortly after Christmas Said she hated sport & New Year's Eve But the truth doesn't wait to come in season And what we had feared was now believed She said she'd leave come Monday mornin' Catch a plane if I'd split the fare She said she had friends in New York City She'd look them up and have the baby there And now she's alone in New York City Livin' like Lord I wonder how An angel in hell in New York City But I can't think about that now Honey, will you tell him Bible stories And give him all the love I never could? But never tell him too much about his daddy 'Cause there's not much to say that's good He'll have to learn it all from his mother How to count and say his ABC's And when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime Leave out "God bless daddy," won't you please? And now they're alone in New York City Livin' like Lord I wonder how 2 angels in hell in New York City But I can't think about that now I can't think about that now
