She was just a country girl Didn't have those New York City ways When she hopped a bus in Ohio Headin' for the crowded streets where no one says a word She was just a country girl living in the lonely city Met a man who learned her name She became a woman on a rainy New York night There's a new day dawnin' in the city She calls her Mama collect Sayin', "Mama send bus fare back to Ohio Have somebody meet me at the depot" She was just a country girl Spent some time in New York City Now she tells her friends about lonely New York City And her lonely New York night There's a new day dawnin' in the city She calls her Mama collect Sayin', "Mama send bus fare back to Ohio Have somebody meet me at the depot" She was just a country girl She was just a country girl
