The day I stepped my first foot in the city
I promised I wouldn't sell my soul
The day I stepped that one first foot in the city
I promised I wouldn't sell my soul
But when the lights and the seen
They shine down on me
I swear to you that night I saw the light
Now if the devil comes a calling
You can give him my appartment
And I will sign right on the dotted line
My mama always said
Those girls of the city
Are the kind of girls we'd like for you to see
My mama always said
Son don't get too busy
Oh those girls sure don't know what's best for me
When the girls showed to me
The gifts they gave me for free
I swear it brough a tear to my eye
Now if there's whisky and women
Don't kill I'm certain
That it's pretty clear I will never die
It's pretty cear that I will never die
Woah oh oh
After all that I've done
All that I've seen
Good luck putting me down in the ground
Cos I have lived and laughed and loved
And gambled boozed and stolen
Enough to tear any grown man down
Oh lord
Oh lord
Oh look at what your boy has done tonight
So now if you have words for me
Oh you can take it up with us three
Oh me, my left hook and my right
So now if you have words for me
Oh you can take it up with us three
Oh me, my left hook and my right
