Lyrics:

V Elmesm Blakley

through The Night I Gambled
i Played A Real Cool Hand
people Still Remember
they Say 'there Goes That Man'
'who Always Found Four Aces'
lady Luck Was Mine
'cos I Fought And Won Life's Battles
and I Made It Just In Time

'come On Make Up The Number'
that's All They Had To Say
'we'll Take Him For A Ride'
it Made Me Wanna Stay
well I Taught Them A Lesson
to Stop Them Foolin' Round
the Crowd, They Really Gathered
to See Me Break 'em Down

chorus
new York City, She's A Friend Of Mine
new York City, She's A Friend Of Mine
people Think I Cheat And Lie
but I Don't Really Care
'cos In New York City Now
people Never Stare

well I Taught Them A Lesson
to Stop Them Foolin' Round
the Crowd, They Really Gathered
to See Me Break 'em Down

chorus
