Oh mighty city of New York you are wonderful to behold	A
Your buildings are magnificent the truth be it told	A
They were the only thing that seemed to arrest my eye	B
Because many of them are thirteen storeys high	B
	-
And as for Central Park it is lovely to be seen	C
Especially in the summer season when its shrubberies are green	C
And the Burns Statue is there to be seen	C
Surrounded by trees on the beautiful sward so green	C
Also Shakespeare and the immortal Sir Walter Scott	D
Which by Scotchmen and Englishmen will never be forgot	D
	-
There are people on the Sabbath day in thousands resort	E
All lov'd in conversation and eager for sport	E
And some of them viewing the wild beasts there	F
While the joyous shouts of children does rend the air	F
And also beautiful black swans I do declare	F
	-
And there's beautiful boats to be seen there	F
And joyous shouts of children does rend the air	F
While the boats sail along with them o'er Lohengrin Lake	G
And fare is cents for children and adults ten is all they take	G
	-
And there's also summer house shades and merry go rounds	H
And with the merry laughter of the children the Park resounds	H
During the live long Sabbath day	I
Enjoying themselves at the merry go round play	I
	-
Then there's the elevated railroads abont five storeys high	B
Which the inhabitants can hear night and day passing by	B
Of such a mass of people there daily do throng	J
No less than five daily pass along	J
And all along the city you can get for five cents	H
And believe me among the passengers there's few discontent	K
	-
And the top of the houses are mostly all flat	L
And in the warm weather the people gather to chat	L
Besides on the housetops they dry their clothes	H
And also many people all night on the housetops repose	H
	-
And numerous ships end steamboats are there to be seen	C
Sailing along the East River water which is very green	C
Which is certainly a most beautiful sight	M
To see them sailing o'er the smooth water day and night	M
	-
And as for Brooklyn Bridge it's a very great height	M
And fills the stranger's heart with wonder at first sight	M
And with all its loftiness I venture to say	I
It cannot surpass the new railway bridge of the Silvery Tay	I
	-
And there's also ten thousand rumsellers there	F
Oh wonderful to think of I do declare	F
To accommodate the people of New York therein	N
And to encourage them to commit all sorts of sin	N
	-
And on the Sabbath day ye will see many a man	O
Going for beer with a big tin can	O
And seems proud to be seen carrying home the beer	P
To treat his neighbours and his family dear	P
	-
Then at night numbers of the people dance and sing	Q
Making the walls of their houses to ring	Q
With their songs and dancing on Sabbath night	M
Which I witnessed with disgust and fled from the sight	M
	-
And with regard to New York and the sights I did see	H
Believe me I never saw such sights in Dundee	H
And the morning I sailed from the city of New York	R
My heart it felt as light as a cork	R
