Songwriter: Bob Dylan
Old new york city is a friendly old town
From washington heights to harlem on down
There's a-mighty many people all millin' all around
They'll knock you when you're up and kick you when you're down
It's a mighty long ways from the golden gate
To rockefeller center n' the empire state
Mister empire sets up as high as a bird
Old mister rockefeller never says a word
From the country
Livin' down in new york town
From the country
Livin' down in new york town
Old new york city is a friendly old town
From washington heights to harlem on down
There's a-mighty many people all millin' all around
They'll knock you when you're up and kick you when you're down
It's a mighty long ways from the golden gate
To rockefeller center n' the empire state
Mister empire sets up as high as a bird
Old mister rockefeller never says a word
From the country
Livin' down in new york town
From the country
Livin' down in new york town
From washington heights to harlem on down
There's a-mighty many people all millin' all around
They'll knock you when you're up and kick you when you're down
It's a mighty long ways from the golden gate
To rockefeller center n' the empire state
Mister empire sets up as high as a bird
Old mister rockefeller never says a word
From the country
Livin' down in new york town
From the country
Livin' down in new york town
Old new york city is a friendly old town
From washington heights to harlem on down
There's a-mighty many people all millin' all around
They'll knock you when you're up and kick you when you're down
It's a mighty long ways from the golden gate
To rockefeller center n' the empire state
Mister empire sets up as high as a bird
Old mister rockefeller never says a word
