about

Adapted from Charles H. Hoyt's song 'The Bowery' from the 1891 Broadway Musical 'A Trip to Chinatown'

lyrics

Oh! the night I struck New York,
I went out for a quiet walk,
Folks who are on to the city say
Better by far that I took Broadway
But I was out to enjoy the sights
There was the Bowery in blazing light
I had one of the Devil's nights
I'll never go there anymore

The Bowery, The Bowery
They say such things
And they do strange things
On the Bowery
I'll never go there anymore

Into a place they call 'a dive'
Man! I was lucky to get out alive
A passing policeman heard my woes
My black eyes and battered nose
"You been held up?" he asks me
"No I've been knocked down, I'm on my knees"
He just laughed to Little Italy
I'll never go there anymore

The Bowery, The Bowery
They say such things
And they do strange things
On the Bowery
I'll never go there anymore

The Bowery, The Bowery
They say such things
And they do strange things
On the Bowery
I'll never go there anymore
