Harlem On My Mind (10-10-33) - Ethel Waters[00:00:00]
Emeralds in my bracelets diamonds in my rings[00:00:10]
A Riviera chateau and a lot of other things[00:00:13]
And I'm blue so blue am I[00:00:16]
Lots of ready money in seven different banks[00:00:26]
I counted up this morning it was 'bout a million francs[00:00:29]
And I'm blue so blue and I know why[00:00:32]
I've got Harlem on my mind[00:00:42]
And I'm longin' to be lowdown[00:00:48]
And my 'Parlez-vous' will not ring true[00:00:54]
With Harlem on my mind[00:00:59]
I've been dined and I've been wined[00:01:04]
But I'm headin' for a showdown[00:01:09]
'Cause I can't go on from night to dawn[00:01:15]
With Harlem on my mind[00:01:21]
I go to supper with a French Marquis[00:01:26]
Each evening after the show[00:01:31]
My lips begin to whisper "Mon Cheri"[00:01:36]
But my heart keeps singin' "Hi-de-ho"[00:01:40]
I've become too damned refined[00:01:46]
And at night I hate to go down[00:01:51]
To that high-falutin' flat that Lady Mendel designed[00:01:56]
With Harlem on my mind[00:02:02]
I've got Harlem on my mind[00:02:06]
And I'm longing to be lowdown[00:02:12]
And my 'Parlez-vous' will not ring true[00:02:17]
With Harlem on my mind[00:02:23]
I've been dined and I've been wined[00:02:28]
But sure as your born I'm headin' for a showdown[00:02:33]
'Cause I can't go on from night to dawn[00:02:38]
With Harlem on my mind[00:02:44]
And when I'm bathing in my marble tub[00:02:49]
Each evening after the show[00:02:54]
I get to thinkin' 'bout that Cotton Club[00:02:59]
And my heart starts chirpin', "Hi-de-ho" help me[00:03:03]
I've been too damned refined[00:03:09]
And at night I hate to go down[00:03:12]
To that flat with fifty million Frenchmen taggin' behind[00:03:17]
With Harlem on my mind[00:03:23]
