There's A Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon For New York Lyrics

Dat's a boat dat's leavin' will soon for New York.
Come wid me, dat's where we belong, sister.
You an' me can live dat high life in New York.
Come wid me, dere you can't go wrong, sister.

I'll buy you de swellest mansion
Up on upper Fifth Avenue
An' through Harlem we'll go struttin', we'll go astruttin',
An' dere'll be nuttin' too good for you.

I'll dress you in silks and satins
In de latest Paris style.
And de blues you'll forget, you'll be forget',
There'll be no frettin' but smiles.

Come along wid me,
Dat's de place, don't be a fool,
Come along, come along.

There's a boat dat's leavin' soon for New York
Come wid me, dat's where we belong,
Oh sister, dat's where we belong!

There's a boat dat's leavin' soon for New York.
Come wid me, dat's where we belong, sister.
You an' me can live dat high life in New York.
Come wid me, dere you can't go wrong, sister.

I'll buy you de swellest mansion
Up on upper Fifth Avenue
An' through Harlem we'll go struttin', we'll go astruttin',
An' dere'll be nuttin' too good for you.

I'll dress you in silks and satins
In de latest Paris style.
All de blues you'll forgettin', you'll be forgettin',
There'll be no frettin', nothin' but smiles.

Honey, come along wid me,
Dere's de place, don't be a fool,
Come along, come along.

There's a boat dat's leavin' soon for New York
Come along wid me, dat's where we belong,
Yes sister, dat's where we belong!
Yes sister, sister...
