Can't You Dance the Polka
sł. trad.
As I walked down on Broadway,
Oh! you New York gals, Can't ye dance the polka? I did not mind expense. I bought her two gold earrings An' they cost me fifteen cents.
Now see me home you may.” But when we reached her cottage door, She this to me did say.
Wid hair cut short behind. He wears a pair o' red-topped boots An' he sails the Blackball line.
An' wid me he will stay. So git a move on, sailor-boy, Get crackin' on yer way.
Before her flash man came, An' fare-you-well, me Bowery gal, I know yer little game.
An' to the dock did steer. I'll never court another maid, I'll stick to rum an' beer.
An' sailed away next morn. Don't ever fool around wid gals, You're safer off Cape Horn!
