Lyrics:

Sweet City Woman (R. Dodson / Bell Records)

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 noon train 
I gotta be there on time 
Oh it feels so good to know she waits 
At the end of the line 

Sweet, sweet city woman 
I can see your face, I can hear your voice 
I can almost touch you 
Sweet, sweet city woman 
Oh my banjo and me 
We got a feel for singing, yeah, yeah 

Bon, ci bon, bon, bon, ci bon, bon 
Bon, ci bon, bon, bon, bon, bon 
Bon, ci bon, bon, bon, ci bon, bon 
Bon, ci bon, bon, bon, bon, bon 
So long Ma, so long Pa 
So long neighbours and friends 

Like a country morning 
All smothered in dew 
She's got a way to make a man 
Feel shiny and new 
And she'll sing in the evening 
Old familiar tunes 
And she feeds me love and tenderness 
And macaroons 

Sweet, sweet city woman 
Oh my sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet city woman 
Sweet, sweet city woman 
Oh my sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet city woman
