Title
The Bowery
Additional title: 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 ablaze with lights; I had one of the devil's own nights! I'll never go there anymore! [first line]
Additional title: The Bow'ry, the Bow'ry! They say such things, and they do strange things on the Bow'ry! The Bow'ry! I'll never go there anymore! [first line of chorus]
