Harlem Blues (Acapulco Version)

歌詞

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.
