Hey man Yea He's dead Eddy is dead Yo Ooh, not again Eddy is dead shot in the head for a dollar. Who is going to tell his Momma who is going to tell his wife? Eddy is dead hit in the head by a brother. Who is going to tell his Momma who is going to tell his wife She was seventeen when she met will She only wanted his love But she got a mean mean mean hustler man And when her Momma said girl you are too young Is a wild wild and wild world Lights of New York City shone so bright Momma said what are you going to do in the city And what are you going to do about money Easy to get wrapped up in a life of sin and shame Momma cried what are you going to do in the city girl? What are you going to do about money Easy to get wrapped up in a life of sin and shame Because, he will gamble, steal and fight in New York City night Living in the city so heavy it weighs you down One of the games that he will play a dollar a time nearly every day Shooting pool and cheating for a dime, when that shot rang out When that shot rang out when that shot rang out!
