Текст песни The Woman On Your Arm - Bing Crosby

The train stops on the corner
And a young man steps out
The year is 1913 and he heads home to his bride
He's got ten cents in his pocket
Hard times are here to stay

But he dances home each evening
He knows he's free from harm
He's got someone he can count on
The woman on his arm

It's New York in the twenties
Got a funny president
Now a dollar's in your pocket
But they're raising up the rent
Got a baby in the carriage
And a hundred dollar car

The boss has seen your promise
He likes your sportin' charm
And he couldn't help but praise you
For the woman on your arm

She had a certain style
Through all those early years
A certain air of serenity
Behind her hidden fears

And then a chance to travel
Comes after all those years
Your business now is taking you
To different hemispheres

Now the bills, they line your pockets
Your acquaintances are great
But you take it all so lightly
There's no need for alarm
Because she's right there beside you
The woman on your arm

Together you've seen wars fought
With trouble on both sides
Seen happiness and tragedy
Pass right before your eyes
You're both still getting stronger
As anyone can see

The kids are all grown up now
And you don't see much of me
It's a far cry from the train stop
And the boss has long been gone
But the story hasn't ended

I'm not spinning some old yarn
'Cause she's still there beside you
The woman on your arm
