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
Chorus:
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
Chorus
She was just a country girl
she was just a country girl
