Lyrics:

Sweet City Woman (R. Dodson / Bell Records)

Well, I'm on my way

To the city lights

To the pretty face that shines her light

On the city nights

And I gotta catch a noon train

I gotta be there on time

Oh it feels so good to know she waits

At the end of the line

Sweet, sweet city woman

I can see your face, I can hear your voice

I can almost touch you

Sweet, sweet city woman

Oh my banjo and me

We got a feel for singing, yeah, yeah

Bon, ci bon, bon, bon, ci bon, bon

Bon, ci bon, bon, bon, bon, bon

Bon, ci bon, bon, bon, ci bon, bon

Bon, ci bon, bon, bon, bon, bon

So long Ma, so long Pa

So long neighbours and friends

Like a country morning

All smothered in dew

She's got a way to make a man

Feel shiny and new

And she'll sing in the evening

Old familiar tunes

And she feeds me love and tenderness

And macaroons

Sweet, sweet city woman

Oh my sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet city woman

Sweet, sweet city woman

Oh my sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet city woman
