I'm leaving the city high or dry
High or I'm leaving the city
Smile for me and look pretty cool and wry
Cool and smile for me and look pretty
I'm leaving the city high or dry
High or I'm leaving the city
Call a spade a real pity red and black
Red and call a spade a real pity
I'm leaving the city can't turn back
Can't turn I'm leaving the city
Call a spade a real pity red and black
Red and call a spade a real pity
Here I made a shadow dark
No doubt in my mind
Fear they'd take me for a lark
Maybe they'll catch me from behind
I'm leaving the city high or dry
High or I'm leaving the city
Smile for me and look pretty cool and wry
Cool and smile for me and look pretty
I'm leaving the city high or dry
High or I'm leaving the city
Here I made a shadow dark
No doubt in my mind
Fear they'd take me for a lark
Maybe they'll catch me from behind
Here I made a shadow dark
No doubt in my mind
Fear they'd take me for a lark
Maybe they'll catch me from behind
