Sweet City Woman Lyrics

Well, I'm on my way to the city lights
To the pretty face that shines her light on the city nights
And I gotta catch a noon train, I gotta be there on time
Oh, it feels so good to know she waits at the end of the line

Sweet, sweet city woman
I can see your face, I can hear your voice, I can almost touch you
Sweet, sweet city woman
Oh, my banjo and me, we got a feel for singin', yeah, yeah

Bon, c'est bon, bon, bon, c'est bon, bon
Bon, c'est bon, bon, bon, bon, bon
Bon, c'est bon, bon, bon, c'est bon, bon
Bon, c'est bon, bon, bon, bon, bon
So long, ma, so long, pa
So long, neighbors and friends

Like a country mornin' all smothered in dew
Ah, she's got a way to make a man feel shiny and new
And she'll sing in the evenin' old familiar tunes
And she feeds me love and tenderness and macaroons

Sweet, sweet city woman
I can see your face, I can hear your voice, I can almost touch you
Sweet, sweet city woman
Oh, my banjo and me, we got a feel for singin'

Da, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-doo-doo, da-doo-doo-doo-doo
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Sweet, sweet city woman
(Oh, she's my) Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet city woman
Sweet, sweet city woman
(Woah, my) Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet city woman
(Everybody) Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet city woman
(Ba-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da)
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet city woman
(Ba-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da)
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet city woman
(Ba-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da)
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet city woman
(Ba-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da)
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet city woman
(Ba-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da)
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet

I LOVE THIS SONG.

And I can't believe I'm the only comment. D: I hear an echo.

refreshing song from that era - liked the banjo playing with the reference to his banjo in the lyrics - as far as the interp, it could be your usual hayseed-coming-to- the-city to see his fine lady scenario - or it could be a guy returning to the City and all of the good things his woman offers - either way, something a little bit different - did the Stampeders have anything else?

Stampeders were from Calgary, Alberta (Canada)..named for famous 'Calgary Stampede' rodeo festival. The French in the song (Bon, c'est bon..and 'macaroons'..should be macarons, but that doesn't rhyme) leads me to believe he's singing about taking a train from to Montreal, Quebec, where they speak French, to see his Québeçois girlfriend. All these years and I never knew that it was 'Bon, c'est bon!' there is no train service directly from Calgary to Montreal, it's about 15 hours from Edmonton Alberta to Montreal by train.. maybe he was living closer to her when he wrote the song
