New York Girls

This song, also known as "Away, You Santee," "Wayess Annie," and "Can't You Dance The Polka?" is a traditional American Irish music hall number included recently in the sound track of Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York."
The Chilly Winds perform Burl Ives' classic arrangement that the Kingston Trio included in their first live performance album nearly fifty years ago. Dave Batti provides his usual driving tempo on the bass.

The Chilly Winds debut CD Live In Colorado,including enhanced digital audio of many of the videos on this channel, is available by mail order from

thechillywinds@sbcglobal.net

for $15.00 including S&H.

Hey Daragh - I just found out on another site that the Fureys were the ones who did this song in the movie "Gangs of New York." The voices sounded familiar but I couldn't place them. The Fureys do a great job, like the KT! Love your recent Clancy uploads!
