Waits, Tom - Jersey Girl Lyrics
got no time for the corner boys, down in the street makin' all that noise,
don't want no whores on eighth avenue, cause tonight i'm gonna be with you.
cause tonight i'm gonna take that ride, across the river to the jersey side,
take my baby to the carnival, and i'll take you on all the rides, sing sha la
down the shore everything's alright, you with your baby on a saturday night,
don't you know that all my dreams come true, when i'm walkin' down the street
with you, sing sha la la la la la sha la la la.
you know she thrills me with all her charms, when i'm wrapped up in my
baby's arms, my little angel gives me everything, i know someday that she'll
wear my ring.
so don't bother me cause i got no time, i'm on my way to see that girl of
a jersey girl, sing sha la la la la la la.
and i call your name, i can't sleep at night, sha la la la la la la.

One of the most beautiful Intros ever.
hey , das foto ist doch aus " coffee an cigaretts " ?
yes tom
God bless you Tom . My eyes can’t stop bleeding with your music
This is the truth. I was always a Springsteen fan and in 1980 I went into a Tower Record store where they were playing Jersey Girl and thought, "Oh, Bruce has a new album." I asked the guy at the counter if this was new Bruce and he said - in almost disdain - "No, it's Tom Waits." I bought the album Heartattack and Vine and understood the disdain the guy at the counter had. Yes, I still liked Bruce, but I wanted to be Tom Waits.
An old friend introduced me to Tom Waits back in 76. He's been gone quite a while now but always think of him when listening to Tom - Thanks, and rest in peace Frank. Gary Moeller
I was in love with a Jersey girl all my life but she never loved me back even after sharing my bed that isn't love that is exchanging bodily fluids.Lise you lied to me.
heartbreaking...wow
1980 - pick up Maynooth, Merlin Park Hospital, Strokestown, back to Maynooth - taping this in Strokestown off the TV!!!!
he was the original singer for this song
I used to live near him and bumped into him around town often. The wildest moment was the day after I’d watched Down By Law, and woke up and listened to his music then was in a shop looking around and humming Blue Valentine, turned around and he was right behind me! Not being cool I jumped and squeaked in surprise, and he got a funny look on his face and kind of chuckled. From that point on I seemed to bump into him at several markets, signal lights, the County Fair, etc., and each time he saw my embarrassed face he’d do a low key amused laugh. Always wished I was cool enough to think of something witty to say, but no... 😂. Love all his work. A true original.❤️
Steve Vai says Tom Waits makes him cry. I don't like Steve Vai, but I agree with him.
Tom Waits is an original.....he has sand.
Wanted to kill myself on Tuesday,how could I not hear this again,❤️❤️❤️❤️ beautiful beyond ,like all Tom's songs
yes tom
Y'know I'm a doctor...

This guy sounds like how a fart would sound if it could talk

That's awful.
Love his voice so magical.
Eu não tenho tempo para esses garotos na esquina
Descendo a rua fazendo todo esse barulho
Não quero prostitutas da oitava avenida
Por que hoje á noite eu quero estar com você
Parece que hoje á noite terei que andar
Na beira do rio até o outro lado de Jérsei
Para levar o meu amor para o carnaval
Eu vou te levar em todos os passeios
Por que abaixo no litoral tudo fica bem
Você e seu amor no sábado a noite
Cada sonho meu parece ser real
Quando estou andando nas ruas com você
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sha, la, la, la, la, la
Sha, la, la, la estou apaixonado por uma garota de Jérsei
Você sabe que ela me encanta com todo esse charme
Quando estou nos braços do meu amor
Minha garota me dá tudo
Eu sei que um dia ela vai usar o meu anel
Então, cara não me incomode, não tenho tempo
Estou no meu caminho para ir ver a minha garota
Por que nada importa nesse mundo inteiro
Quando você está apaixonado por uma garota de Jérsei
Sha, la, la, la
Eu vejo você andando pela rua e parece tão cansada
Eu sei que esse trabalho tem te deixado tão desmotivada
Quando eu passar pra te lavar pra sair
Você estará mentindo deitada na cama com seu bebê
Vá ao banheiro e coloque sua maquiagem
Essa noite nos vamos deixar esse pirralho com sua mãe
Eu conheço um lugar onde a dança é de graça
Agora amor, você não vem comigo
Por que abaixo no litoral tudo fica bem
Você e seu amor no sábado á noite
Nada importa nesse mundo inteiro
Quando você está apaixonado por uma garota de Jérsei
isnt it amazing,even though music is so incredibly subjective,most can agree when they hear a talent like this that they are hearing real genius,i may not always be in the mood for Waits or the blues or folk or rock,but i always know when im hearing something that required life experience and intelligence to write/perform.
Who's your Jersey Girl?.....The girl you loved in your younger years,
Let this sweet music wash over your soul. This song is on my playlist for 2019, more on my YouTube channel. ( cTunes = catchy tunes )

From all the Westside Boyos Thanks Tom
Legendary
Even sounds like Bruce Springsteen.
WTF, Bruce didnt write Jersey Girl!? Just did a cover of it.. 😲
Take GRETA the inventor of the electrical Tampon to a looooong long trip
i sing this when i brush and gargle
BEST WISHES TO YOU, SIR TOM WAITS AS ROBERTO BENIGNI, YOUR SO LOVELY FRIEND, AND YOURS, FAMILIES AND FRIENDS...
678 assholes who should be hit by karma right now. oh man.
oh, i forgot. you should rot in hell.
This is crap. Dude doesn't know whether he wants to be Springsteen or Dylan. Any two-bit drunk can sing like this.
Take into consideration that he Actually wrote the song.
@Avril Jack Fuck you tard
I could do nothing but earnestly laugh at this comment - nothing to say to you, mate, but - good luck.
@Avril Jack You're explaining astrophysics to a parking meter.
One of the best songs ever written
Absolutely fantastic
I have to admit I hear this song now
for the first time by Tom Waits
In 2009 in Vienna Bruce Springsteen
did this beautiful tune by request
I will never forget this
So for me it is a Bruce Springsteen song - sorry
But Tom Waits is a true hero and
one of the greatest songwriters of all time
There is no doubt about that
Splendid
And think just afew hundred years ago artists like this would have been burnt alive.
Man sounds like he gargled hot asphalte and broken glass!
Yeah, cool, isn't it?
I close my eyes and I am 18 in my car at night driving home after dropping my girl off at her house.
Open your eyes dickhead you better not hit someone my mom still out there driving
Who else tears up
sure glad to know I'm not the only one
I know someday she'll wear my ring........beautiful
SUPER, SUPER, SUPER!!
Have u ever done a pint a guinness bottems
up with a lager bottems up
This Jersey girl loves Tom's version but the Bruce version wins out, solely because of the distraction of Tom's voice, which, though wonderful, can overwhelm a song at times.
Thangs for I relax now,no week on turkey en buss is okay to*?
God I love this . The lyrics the music the sound
Fantastic. That is all.
Bet the rugs came first. She was just doing what she had to do. All the best to both of you.
Me gusta!! 😎🎤🎸🎶
Talent, talent, talent 🎶🎼🎶
This is from an outsider, but I'd say that Waits here out springsteens Springsteen. There is so much yearning and confinement in this song. Simply gorgeous.
@Topey Schwarzenbach Springsteen knows. Poets have to learn somewhere. Bruce in the pews of Tom's Tabernacle
sala la,la.I feeling good.
Sure , a great song ; for fans : I really prefer the "Bounced Checks" version, which is an alternative studio master. I don't know if it is on the net or utube... same thing for 'the piano has been ' drinking , and the great 'Mr Henry'. Try to find them out ;=) Tom is a God !
https://youtu.be/6HP2vh7h5Gg ?
I love Tom Watts! He has a special kind of talent!
The Bruce Springsteen's live version is the best version.
Here is it

I don't listen to any other version anymore. Nothing can compare to this.

Responding to the person who was a little negative about Tom
657 brain-dead moooorons....Sad
(And shameful......)
@Tim Sørensen
I'm a *huge* Springsteen fan, but I'd wager that the downvotes all come out of Jersey suburbs of stone-washed jeans, mullets and garage banders who thought this was the work of Bruce.
@Ulysses432 You forgot: The hipsters ^_º
yeah tom sing for me i love bob dylan and i am normal 54 years old sculptor
Only one man had stronger rasp in the voice than Tom Waits. Toma Bebic - Croatian-Dalmatian bohemian and a singer.
Tom Waits is god
Tom Waits is a genius who imitates life.
This has been one of my favourite songs since 80s. Back in the mid 90s my then girlfriend and I used to park up near the sea in west Wales and listen to this on repeat. That girlfriend is now my wife of 23 years and this is still "our" song. So much so that I recorded my version of it for her birthday 4 years back 💗
Hey Bro, I hope the music is as good up there in the stars as it is down here!! Thank you for introducing Tom to me. Great artist. Miss you
Many will hear this and be entertained... the rest of us listen to one of the most amazing artists of a generation.
hold on
just play and sing for me
yeah tom i am in love with your friend bob dylan
