[00:02.70]I went down to 42nd street
[00:04.76]Thought I'd get a bite to eat
[00:06.66]I saw a girl that I'd like to meet
[00:08.41]You know she sure looked good

[00:13.10]Asked me what it was I smoking
[00:15.00]All she had was an old bus token

[00:19.05]She cried a tear
[00:20.61]And said she was alone

[00:43.33]Took me to shack on the edge of town
[00:45.52]All the shades were pulled and drawn
[00:47.49]Nobody not a soul around
[00:49.24]She smiled at me
[00:51.60]Mixed drinks and I fixed my head
[00:53.46]Drank it down made me feel like lead
[00:55.64]When I asked her where was the bed
[00:57.42]She said I'd see
[00:59.88]She pulled me close
[01:01.53]Now what was I to do

[01:21.83]Matilda
[01:32.45]Heard a heavy knock upon the door
[01:34.21]Scared me so bad I fell on the floor
[01:36.77]Heard a voice that sounded sore
[01:38.27]Said let me in
[01:40.68]Matilda said her boyfriend had a gun

[01:46.55]I left my skin
[01:48.82]Flew out the window
[01:50.24]As the door came tumbling down
