There's a Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon for New York (Remaster)

There's a boat dat's leavin' soon for New York

Come wid me

Dat's where we belong, sister

You an' me kin 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 Fi'th Avenue

An' through Harlem we'll go struttin'

We'll go a-struttin'

An' dere'll be nuttin'

Too good for you

I'll dress you in silks and satins

In de latest Paris styles

And de blues you'll be forgettin'

You'll be forgettin'

There'll be no frettin'

Jes nothin' 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, sister

Dat's where we belong!

Come on, Bess!
