The Sidewalks of New York

By James Blake and Charles Lawlor
Rise Up Singing chapter: City, p.21
C GC FG C / F CA D G
CG C F C / F CA DG C

Sometimes Iike to change the first line to this: CG C FG C
Almost the same, I know. It works nicely for "Down in front of Casey's..." and the original C GC FG C works better for "East side, West side..." That's my two cents.

Lyrics:
Down in front of Casey's old brown wooden stoop
On a summer's evening we formed a merry group
Boys and girls together, we would sing and waltz
While Tony played the organ on the sidewalks of New York

East side, west side, all around the town
The gang played ring-a-rosy, London bridge is falling down
Boys and girls together, me and Mamie O'Rourke
We'd trip the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York
