There’s a Boat That’s Leavin’ Soon for New York Songtext
von Lena Horne

There′s a boat that's leavin′ soon for New York
Come with me,
that's where we belong sister
You an' me Kin live that high life in New York
Come with me, there we can′t go wrong sister
I′ll buy you the swellest mansion
Up on upper Fifth Avenue
An' thru Harlem we′ll go struttin'
We′ll go a struttin'
An′ there'll be nuttin'
Too good for you I′ll dress up in silks and satins
In the latest Paris styles
And de blues you′ll be forgettin'
You′ll be forgettin'
There′ll be no frettin'
Just nothin′ but smiles
Come along with me, that's the place
Don't be a fool. Come along, come along
There′s a boat that′s leavin' soon for New York
Come with me, that′s where we belong, sister
That's where we belong


And de blues you′ll be forgettin'
You′ll be forgettin'
There'll be no frettin′
Just nothin′ but smiles
Come along with me, that's the place
Don′t be a fool. Come along, come along
There's a boat that′s leavin' soon for New York
Come with me, that′s where we belong, sister
That's where we belong
