Emerald City - The Tossers

Chicago can be very cold

It’s a bitter land of frost and snow

But’s where my eyes did first behold

You in the Emerald City

Stay with me this afternoon

Hand to me my glass and spoon

My only delight is in being with you

Again in the Emerald City

Well with pikes we dug out the Erie Canal

With the Chinamen we layed the railroad as well

On our west ward way to dwell

In the Emerald City

To southside stockyards southside steel

A city built on Irish will

Who all came here with dreams to fill

In the Emerald City

Stay with me this afternoon

Hand to me my glass and spoon

My only delight is in being with you

Again in the Emerald City

Now everyone was wearing Green

Down Western Avenue we were seen

And my friends they fill my memories

All along the way

Well I kissed my girl and fell in love

In the front room of Christina’s pub

And in my mind I walk her home

Now and forever more

Then you were born, born here to me

And you mean everything to me

And no matter what I’ll always be

With you in the Emerald City

Chicago can be very cold

It’s a bitter land of frost and snow

But’s where my eyes did first behold

You in the Emerald City

Stay with me this afternoon

Hand to me my glass and spoon

My only delight is in being with you

Again in the Emerald City

Stay with me this afternoon

Hand to me my glass and spoon

My only delight is in being with you

Again in the Emerald City

Stay with me this afternoon

Hand to me my glass and spoon

My only delight is in being with you

Again in the Emerald City
