As I walked down through Chatham Street
A fair maid I did meet
She asked me to see her home
She lived in Bleeker Street

Chorus:
And away you santy
My dear honey
O you New York girls
Can't you dance the polka?
And when we got to Bleeker Street
We stopped at forty-four
Her mother and her sister there
To meet her at the door

Chorus

And when I got inside the house
The drinks were passed around
The liquor was so awful strong
My head went round and round

Chorus

And the we had another drink
Before we sat to eat
The liquor was so awful strong
I quickly fell asleep

Chorus

When I awoke next morning
I had an aching head
There was I Jack all alone
Stark naked in my bed

Chorus

My gold watch and my pocket book
And lady friend were gone
There was I Jack all alone
Stark naked in my room

Chorus

On looking round this little room
There's nothing I could see
But a woman's shift and apron
That were no use to me

Chorus

With a flour barrel for a suit of clothes
Down Cherry Street forlorn
There Martin Churchill took me in
And sent me round Cape Horn
