Branford Marsalis Quartet - Harlem Blues

you can never tell what's
in a man's mind
and if he's from harlem there's
no use of even trying
just like the tot his mind comes
and goes
like march weather when
he'll change
nobody knows nobody knows
the man i love well he just turn
me down
he's a harlem brown
off times i wish that i were in
this ground
six feet underground
he allows me as no other could
no no
then he surprises me leave me
a note saying
he's 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 move some hall maid
who champ go out for a lark
just to drive off this mean
you note harlem blues
you can have your Broadway give
me Lenox Avenue
angels from the sky stroll
seventh of that things i do
from Madame Walker's beauty
shops to pro system to
that may those girls angels
without any doubt
there are songs for something
harlem
well i'm taught its sudden death
to let somebody see you even
stop to get trouble breath
if you never been to harlem
then i guess you'll never know
how these mean note harlem blues
i've this one sweet spot in
harlem known as Drivers' Road
ditty folk song call 'em 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 it harlem blues
and since my sweetie left me
harlem

though a thousand dandies smile
right in my face
i think i move some homemaid who
champ go out for a lark
just to drive off this mean you

i've this one sweet spot in
harlem known as Drivers' Road
ditty folk song call 'em
