[00:11.00]The first day she came to New York
[00:15.07]Sach's cafe in Manhattan
[00:18.67]Coffee and cigarettes and talk
[00:22.33]Sun beating down on the east side

[01:10.07]From the Bowery to old Suffolk street
[01:14.31]The five dollar bill in her pocket
[01:17.55]And a world full of people to meet
[01:21.83]Ships riggin' up in the Hudson
[01:25.27]Waiting for love to set sail
[01:29.24]Emma she tells Alexander
[01:32.28]I'll be there when you walk from the jail

[02:43.25]A word to the strike breaking bosses
[02:46.68]Propaganda in deed and in name
[02:50.90]Fourteen long years on the island
[02:54.01]It's a lifetime of summers to wait
[02:57.80]And Emma she meets Alexander
