GBronx bound uptown, that's my line.

Don't lEmook like much, but it's all mine.

The eDnd of the road is all I know,

C242nd street, I'm almost home. C

The roGar of the crowd from Gaelic Park

Emunderage guinness at the terminal bar

the liDghts on broadway never looked so fine

as they Cdo underneath the oDne and nine

Well the dEmin of the subway cars

Csounds like a heavenly choir

and the shEmower of sparks they bring

Cshine like angels' Dwings

and the wEmriting on the concrete walls

is all I Gneed

to lead me to salvatCion

underneaDth the one and nGine

Gjam packed nights at sam mcguire's

Emthat's where I first caught the fire

I juDmped on stage, sang dirty old town

it bCroke my heart when that jDoint closed down

Well the dEmin of the subway cars

Csounds like a heavenly choir

and the shEmower of sparks they bring

Cshine like angels' Dwings

and the wEmriting on the concrete walls

is all I Gneed

to lead me to salvatCion

underneaDth the one and nGine

its a woGrld of troubles

I sure had some

I don't kEmnow where I'm going

but I know where I'm from

I'm from nDew york town, the very best part

with the gCuts and the grit and the lDove and the heart

with a sweet slow song, and a bottle of wine

Cspread my ashes neath the one and nine
