Forty Deuce - Black 47[00:00:00]
As I roved out one May morning[00:00:00]
On down by old Times Square[00:00:03]
I met a sportin' lady[00:00:07]
Sweet Nancy was her name[00:00:10]
She said "Me dearest darlin'[00:00:14]
You're so young and you smell so sweet[00:00:17]
But you'll age 10 years in 20 days down on 42nd Street"[00:00:21]
She took me upstairs to a room[00:00:35]
With cobwebs on the wall[00:00:38]
She said "Lay down me darlin'[00:00:41]
You and I gonna have a ball"[00:00:44]
And as she kissed me virgin tears away[00:00:49]
She sang in her sweet voice[00:00:52]
Fare thee well my 42nd street[00:00:56]
Good-bye my forty-deuce[00:00:59]
In the years to come I had occasion[00:01:17]
To remember sweet Nancy's song[00:01:21]
For I fell in with bad company[00:01:25]
I lived me life all wrong[00:01:28]
I did everything forbidden[00:01:32]
By bible book and creed[00:01:35]
'Til I'd no more virgin tears to shed[00:01:38]
Down on 42nd Street[00:01:42]
I fell in with two blaggards[00:01:48]
Spider Murphy and Jem Black[00:01:51]
We terrorized Hell's Kitchen[00:01:55]
We robbed both white and black[00:01:58]
We never gave a damn about[00:02:02]
The Narcos or the Vice[00:02:05]
For the days were short and the nights were long[00:02:09]
Down on dear old forty-deuce[00:02:12]
One night on 7th Avenue[00:02:45]
I was accosted by the law[00:02:48]
They said "We've got your number lad[00:02:52]
You're time is gettin' short[00:02:55]
Take our advice me bucko[00:02:59]
Kick the dust up with your heels[00:03:02]
And leave your false companions[00:03:06]
Down on 42nd Street"[00:03:09]
But I was young and stupid[00:03:15]
And loyal to a fault[00:03:19]
I had a package in me shirt[00:03:22]
To deliver to Jem Black[00:03:26]
When I handed him his contraband[00:03:29]
I was pounced on by 2 narcs[00:03:32]
Spider Murphy had betrayed me[00:03:38]
Farewell my forty-deuce[00:03:41]
I spent 10 years in Sing Sing[00:04:11]
Goin' slowly up the walls[00:04:14]
With revenge the only motive[00:04:18]
That kept me alive at all[00:04:22]
I came out of there a different man[00:04:25]
Cruel vicious but discreet[00:04:29]
Bought a gun and went back home[00:04:34]
Down to 42nd Street[00:04:37]
I followed Spider Murphy[00:04:48]
Into a church down by Times Square[00:04:50]
I blew him to sweet Jesus[00:04:54]
While he was kneelin' at his prayers[00:04:58]
If you're ever lookin' for Jem Black[00:05:02]
Don't bother tryin' home[00:05:05]
Coz he's 40 feet down under[00:05:08]
The Hudson's ragin' foam[00:05:12]
So fare thee well sweet Nancy[00:05:17]
Give back me virgin tears[00:05:21]
I'm goin' back to Sing Sing[00:05:25]
For five and fifty years[00:05:28]
Please hold me like the first time[00:05:32]
Sing in your sweet voice[00:05:35]
Fare thee well my 42nd Street[00:05:40]
Goodbye my forty-deuceSo [00:05:44]
Fare thee well sweet Nancy[00:05:58]
Fare thee well sweet Nancy[00:06:11]
Fare thee well my 42nd Street[00:06:15]
Goodbye my forty-deuce[00:06:28]
