dave van ronk – georgie and the irt كلمات اغاني
[verse 1: dave van ronk]
along came the irt, a’cannon ballin’ through
from 242nd street to flatbush avenue
at 5:15 one friday eve, she pulled into times square
the people filled the station, and georgie he was there
[verse 2: dave van ronk]
the people filled the station, they milled and massed around
and georgie looked upon that train and it was brooklyn bound
he vowed at once that train to board, the weekend not to roam
for georgie was a shipping clerk and brooklyn was his home
[verse 3: dave van ronk & d_ck rosmini]
the people filled the station, a million head or more
george used his elbows and his knees until he reached the door
but when he reached those portals, he could not face the gaff
the conductor shut the door on him and cut poor george in half
[verse 4: dave van ronk, dave van ronk & d_ck rosmini]
the train pulled out of times square, the swiftest on the line
he carried poor george’s head along, but he left his body behind
poor georgie died a hero’s death, his martyrdom’s plain to see
and the very last words that georgie said were “screw the irt”
[verse 5: dave van ronk & d_ck rosmini]
so when you ride the irt and you approach times square
incline your head a few degrees and say a solemn prayer
for his body it lies between the ties, amidst the dust and dew
and his head it rides the irt to flatbush avenue
