Hard Times In New York Town - Bob Dylan[00:00:03]
Come you ladies and you gentlemen,[00:00:19]
a-listen to my song.[00:00:21]
Sing it to you right,[00:00:22]
but you might think it's wrong.[00:00:23]
Just a little glimpse of a story I'll tell[00:00:24]
Bout an east coast city that you all know well.[00:00:26]
It's hard in times from the country[00:00:28]
Livin down in new york town.[00:00:30]
Old new york city a is friendly old town,[00:00:36]
From washington heights to harlem on down.[00:00:38]
Theres a-mighty many people all millin all around,[00:00:41]
They'll kick you when you're up[00:00:43]
and knock you when you're down.[00:00:44]
It's hard times form the country,[00:00:46]
Livin down in new york town.[00:00:48]
Well, the weak and the strong[00:00:54]
and the rich and the poor[00:00:55]
Gather together, ain't room for no more[00:00:57]
Crowded up above, crowded down below[00:00:59]
And when someone disappears,[00:01:01]
you never even know[00:01:02]
It's hard times from the country[00:01:03]
Livin' down in New York town[00:01:05]
It's a mighty long ways from the Golden Gate[00:01:09]
To Rockefeller Plaza an' the Empire State[00:01:11]
Mister Empire sets up as high as a bird[00:01:13]
And old Mister Rockefeller never says a word[00:01:15]
It's hard times from the country[00:01:18]
Livin' down in New York town[00:01:20]
Well, it's up in the mornin',[00:01:23]
tryin' to fins a job of work[00:01:25]
Stand in one place[00:01:26]
till your feet begin to hurt[00:01:27]
If you got a lot o' money[00:01:28]
you can make yourself merry[00:01:29]
If you only got a nickel,[00:01:30]
it's the Staten Island Ferry[00:01:32]
It's hard times from the country[00:01:33]
Livin' down in New York town[00:01:35]
I'll take all the smog in Californeay[00:01:38]
An' every bit of dust in the Oklahoma plains[00:01:41]
An' the dirt in the caves of[00:01:43]
the Rocky Mountain mines[00:01:44]
It's all much cleaner than the New York kind[00:01:45]
It's hard times in the country[00:01:47]
Livin' down in New York town[00:01:49]
Mister Hudson come a-sailin' down the stream[00:01:52]
And old Mister Minuet paid for his dream[00:01:55]
Bought your city on a one-way track[00:01:57]
'F I had my way, I'd sell it right back[00:01:59]
It's hard times from the country[00:02:01]
Livin' down in New York town[00:02:03]
Said all you newsy people[00:02:07]
that spread the news around[00:02:08]
You listen to my story, you listen to my song[00:02:09]
You can step on my name,[00:02:11]
you can try an' get me beat[00:02:12]
When I leave New York,[00:02:13]
I'll be standin' on my feet[00:02:15]
It's hard times from the country[00:02:16]
Livin' down in New York town[00:02:18]
[00:02:19]
