Harlem Blues (Album Version) - Cynda Williams/Branford Marsalis Quartet/Terence Blanchard[00:00:00]

Lyricist：W.C. Handy[00:00:00]

Composer：W.C. Handy[00:00:00]

You can never tell[00:00:01]

What's in a man's mind[00:00:03]

And if he's from Harlem[00:00:09]

There's no use of even trying[00:00:11]

Just like the tide his mind comes and goes[00:00:17]

Like March weather when he'll change[00:00:25]

Nobody knows[00:00:28]

Nobody knows[00:00:30]

The man I love[00:00:34]

Well[00:00:36]

He just turned me down[00:00:36]

He's a Harlem brown[00:00:39]

Off' times I wish that I were in this ground[00:00:42]

Six feet underground[00:00:46]

He idolized me as no other could[00:00:51]

No no[00:00:55]

Then he surprised me leaving me a note saying he's[00:00:59]

Gone for good[00:01:03]

And since my sweetie left me[00:01:09]

Harlem well it ain't the same old place[00:01:12]

Though a thousand dandies smile right in my face[00:01:17]

I think I'll mooch some homemade[00:01:24]

Hooch and go out for a lark[00:01:27]

Just to drive off this mean ole Harlem blues[00:01:30]

You can have your Broadway give me Lenox Avenue[00:01:41]

Angels from the sky stroll 7th and for that thanks are due[00:01:48]

From Madame Walker's beauty shops[00:01:54]

To Poro System too[00:01:57]

That may those girls angels without any doubt[00:02:01]

There are some spots up in Harlem[00:02:06]

Were I'm told it's sudden death[00:02:10]

To let somebody see you even stop to catch your breath[00:02:14]

If you've never been to Harlem then I'll guess you'll never know[00:02:20]

The power of these mean ole Harlem blues[00:02:26]

Ah there's one sweet spot in Harlem known as Strivers' Row[00:02:33]

Dicty folk some call 'em[00:02:40]

One thing you should know[00:02:42]

Is that I have a friend who lives there[00:02:45]

I know he won't refuse[00:02:49]

To put some music to my troubles and call 'em Harlem blues[00:02:51]

And since my sweetie left me[00:03:14]

Harlem[00:03:16]

Well it ain't the same old place[00:03:17]

Though a thousand dandies smile right in my face[00:03:21]

I think I'll mooch some homemade hooch[00:03:27]

And go out for a lark[00:03:30]

Just to drive off these mean[00:03:33]

Mean ole Harlem blues[00:03:34]

Ah there's one sweet spot in Harlem known as Strivers' Row[00:03:40]

Dicty folk some call 'em[00:03:46]

One thing you should know[00:03:49]

Is that I have a friend who lives there[00:03:52]

I know he won't refuse[00:03:55]

To put some music to my troubles[00:03:58]

And call 'em Harlem blues[00:04:00]

To put some music to my troubles[00:04:04]

And call them[00:04:06]

The Harlem blues[00:04:10]

Harlem[00:04:20]

The[00:04:23]

Harlem blues[00:04:23]

Harlem[00:04:30]

The[00:04:33]
