I am going down an alley in New York Town
I can't tell you my feelings
As I pass down the old road
That used to have poker-dealings
I am going down the alley in New York Town
Where there is a window
And I see a woman in her gown
I am going down the alley in New York Town
Where fellow musicians play Jazz music
That fills my heart everyday
I am going down the alley in New York Town
And when I go, I am thinking
Maybe tonight I'll get my wife
And go to the Lincoln
