[Verse 1]
G                    Am
As I walked down the Broadway
C                D
One evening last July
G                Am
I met a maid who asked me trade
C            D        G
And a sailor lad says I
G              Am
To Tiffany's I took her
C             D
I didn’t mind expense
  G                    Am
I bought her a pair of gold earrings
         C       D       G
And they cost me fifteen cents
 
 
[Chorus]

Away Santee

My Dear Annie
G       C
Oh, you New York girls
G         D         G
can't you dance the polka?

[Verse 2]
G                            Am
And she says, 'You Limejuice sailor
    C                D
Now take me home you may
    G                   Am
But when we reached her cottage door
    C       D      G
She this to me did say
G                   Am
My flash man he's a Yankee
     C                  D
With his hair cut short behind
   G               Am
He wears a pair of black sea-boots
       C            D         G
And he sails in the Blackball Line
 
 
[Chorus]
G    C
Away Santee
G       D
My Dear Annie
G       C
Oh, you New York girls
G         D         G
can't you dance the polka?

[Verse 3]
G                            Am
And He's homeward bound this evening
    C               D
And with me he will stay
   G              Am
So get a move on, sailor-boy
    C        D       G
Get cracking on your way
  G                   Am
I kissed her hard and proper
      C             D
Afore her flash man came
   G                   Am
So fare thee well, you Bowery girl
  C         D      G
I know your little game
 
 
[Chorus]
G    C
Away Santee
G       D
My Dear Annie
G       C
Oh, you New York girls

can't you dance the polka?

[Verse 4]
G                               Am
And then I wrapped me glad rags round me
    C                D
And to the docks did steer
       G           Am
I will never court another girl
     C        D       G
I'll stick to rum and beer
  G               Am
I joined a Yankee blood-boat
    C                D
And sailed away next morn
      G                Am
Don't mess around with women boys
       C      D          G
You're safer ‘round Cape Horn
 
 
[Chorus]
G    C
Away Santee
G       D
My Dear Annie
G       C
Oh, you New York girls
G         D         G
can't you dance the polka?

My Dear Annie
G       C
Oh, you New York girls
G         D         G
can't you dance the polka?
