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 fast train
Gotta be there on time
Feels so good to know
That she waits at then end of the line

Sweet city woman
I can see your face, I can hear your voice, I can almost touch you
Sweet city woman
And the banjo and me, we've got a feel for singing

So long, Ma
So long, Pa
So long, neighbours and friends
It's a country morning
All's covered in dew
And she's got me to make a man feel shine and new
And she'll sing in the evening
Old familiar tunes
And she feeds me love and tenderness and macaroons

Sweet city woman
I can see your face, I can hear your voice, I can almost touch you
Sweet city woman
And the banjo and me, we've got a feel for singing

Sweet city woman
I can see your face, I can hear your voice, I can almost touch you
Sweet city woman
And the banjo and me, we've got a feel for singing

Sweet city woman
I can see your face, I can hear your voice, I can almost touch you
