HARLEM BLUES - UA
词：W.C.Handy
曲：W.C.Handy
You can never tell what's in a man's mind
And if he's from Harlem there's no use of even tryin'
Just like the tide his mind comes and goes
Like March weather when he'll change
Nobody knows nobody knows
The man I love well he just turned me down he's a Harlem brown
Off times I wish that I were in this ground six feet underground
He idolized me as no other could no no
Then he surprised me leavin' me a note sayin' he's gone for good
Gone for good
And since my sweetie left me
Harlem well it ain't the same old place
Though a thousand dandies smile right in my face
I think I'll mooch some homemade hooch and go out for a lark
Just to drive off these mean ole Harlem Blues
You can have your Broadway give me Lenox Avenue
Angels from the skies stroll 7th and for that thanks are due
From Madam Walker's beauty shops to the Pro Ro System 2
That made those girls angels without any doubt
There are some spots up in Harlem where I'm told it's sudden death
To let somebody see you even stop to catch your breath
If you've never been to Harlem then I guess you'll never know
The power of these mean ole Harlem blues
Ah there's one sweet spot in Harlem known as Striver's Row
'Ditty folks come call them one thing you should know
Is that I have a friend who lives there I know he won't refuse
To put some music to my troubles and call 'em Harlem blues
And since my sweetie left me Harlem well it ain't the same old place
Though a thousand dandies smile right in my face
I think I'll mooch some homemade hooch and go out for a lark
Just to drive off these mean ole Harlem Blues
Ah there's one sweet spot in Harlem known as Striver's Row
'Ditty folks come call them one thing you should know
Is that I have a friend who lives there I know he won't refuse
To put some music to my troubles and call 'em Harlem blues
To put some music to my troubles and call them the Harlem blues
Harlem the Harlem blues Harlem the Harlem blues
