Well, I'm on my way, to the city life
To a pretty face that shines her light on the city nightsAnd I gotta catch a noon train
Gotta be there on timeOh, it feels so good to know she waits at the end of the line
Swee-ee-eet, sweet city womanI can see your face, I can hear your voice, I can almost touch you
Swee-ee-eet, sweet city womanOh, my banjo and me, we got a feel for singin', yeah, yeah,
Bon c'est bon, bon bon c'est bon, bon,Bon c'est bon, bon, bon, bon, bon
Bon c'est, bon, bon bon ci'estbon, bon,Bon c'est bon, bon, bon, bon, bon
So long ma, so long pa, so longNeighbors and friends
Like a country mornin', all snuggled in dewAh she's got a way to make a man feel shiny and new
And she sing in the evenin', oh familiar tunesAnd she feeds me love and tenderness and macaroons
Swee-ee-eet, sweet city womanI can see your face, I can hear your voice, I can almost touch you
Swee-ee-eet, sweet city womanOh, my banjo and me, we got a feel for singin'
