Lord, lord, lord
Lord, lord, lord
I wish to walk around New York City
A Manhattan thug (a Manhattan thug)
I saw the devil, the God of Greece
And he gave a hug, a hug

Forgive me lord, I became greedy
So much city souls, I took the easy road
Forgive me lord, I became greedy
I live and I die alone, alone, alone

Lord, lord, lord
Lord, lord, lord

I can't buy a daily drive nor a building
Vagabond on the downtown, oh lord
I'm vein old man age of fifty
Crazy as a clown (cl-cl-cl-cl-clown)
A clown

Forgive me lord, I became greedy
So many city souls, I took the easy road
Forgive me lord, I became greedy
I live and I die alone, alone, alone

And the devil offering
All the kingdoms of the world
And Jesus said no
Said no

Forgive me, lord, I became greedy
So many city souls, I took the easy road
Forgive me lord, I became greedy
I live and I die alone, alone, alone

Lord, lord, lord
Lord, lord, lord
Lord, lord, lord

Lord, lord, lord
Lord, lord, lord
Lord, lord, lord
