As I roved out one May morning
On down by old
Times Square
I met a sportin' lady
Sweet
Nancy was her name
She said "Me dearest
darlin'
You're so young and you smell so
sweet
But you'll age 10 years in 20 days down
on 42nd Street"

She took me upstairs
to a room
With cobwebs on the wall
She said
"Lay down, me darlin'
You and I gonna have
a ball"
And as she kissed me virgin tears
away
She sang in her sweet voice
Fare thee
well my 42nd street
Good-bye my
forty-deuce

In the years to come I had
occasion
To remember sweet Nancy's song
For
I fell in with bad company
I lived me life all
wrong
I did everything forbidden
By bible,
book and creed
'Til I'd no more virgin tears
to shed
Down on 42nd Street

I fell in
with two blaggards
Spider Murphy and Jem
Black
We terrorized Hell's Kitchen
We
robbed both white and black
We never gave a
damn about
The Narcos or the Vice
For the
days were short and the nights were long
Down
on dear old forty-deuce

One night on 7th
Avenue 
I was accosted by the law
They said
"We've got your number, lad
You're time is
gettin' short
Take our advice, me bucko
Kick
the dust up with your heels
And leave your
false companions 
Down on 42nd
Street"

But I was young and
stupid
And loyal to a fault
I had a package
in me shirt 
To deliver to Jem Black
When I
handed him his contraband 
I was pounced on by
2 narcs
Spider Murphy had betrayed
me
Farewell my forty-deuce

I spent 10
years in Sing Sing
Goin' slowly up the
walls
With revenge the only motive
That
kept me alive at all
I came out of there a
different man
Cruel, vicious, but
discreet
Bought a gun and went back
home
Down to 42nd Street

I followed
Spider Murphy 
Into a church down by Times
Square
I blew him to sweet Jesus
While he
was kneelin' at his prayers
If you're ever
lookin' for Jem Black
Don't bother tryin'
home
Coz he's 40 feet down under
The
Hudson's ragin' foam

So, fare thee well,
sweet Nancy
Give back me virgin tears
I'm
goin' back to Sing Sing 
For five and fifty
years
Please hold me like the first
time
Sing in your sweet voice
Fare thee
well my 42nd Street
Goodbye my forty-deuce
