Me and my baby got the whole thing down
From the Hudson River down to Chinatown
Laid up in bed 'til the sun goes down
Oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down

I got a shotgun leaning on a kitchen chair
I think I might get drunk and shoot it in the air
Climb up to the hill and get lost somewhere
One more last shot baby I'll be there

Oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down
From the Hudson River down to Chinatown
Laid up in bed 'til the sun goes down
Oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down

I'm going make me some money downtown tonight
Chase all of them pretty girl through the neon lights
So, back to bed right about daylight
In the back of my mind, something don't feel right

Oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down
From the Hudson River down to Chinatown
Laid up in bed 'til the sun goes down
Oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down

Oh, oh, sweet Virginia
I've been gone, gone way too long, oh, long gone
Sweet old Verminion, I don't think I'm ever coming home

There's a police chopper coming down the hill
They gonna find my grain, they gonna find my still, oh Lord
Look like I'm gonna have a lot of time to kill
Tell my sweet Louise my love was real, oh Lord

Oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down
From the Hudson River down to Chinatown
Laid up in bed 'til the sun goes down
Oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down

Me and my baby got the whole thing down
From the Hudson River down to Chinatown
Laid up in bed 'til the sun goes down
Oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down
Oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down
