《Harlem on My Mind》歌词

[00:00:00] Harlem On My Mind (10-10-33) - Ethel Waters

[00:00:10] Emeralds in my bracelets diamonds in my rings

[00:00:13] A Riviera chateau and a lot of other things

[00:00:16] And I'm blue so blue am I

[00:00:26] Lots of ready money in seven different banks

[00:00:29] I counted up this morning it was 'bout a million francs

[00:00:32] And I'm blue so blue and I know why

[00:00:42] I've got Harlem on my mind

[00:00:48] And I'm longin' to be lowdown

[00:00:54] And my 'Parlez-vous' will not ring true

[00:00:59] With Harlem on my mind

[00:01:04] I've been dined and I've been wined

[00:01:09] But I'm headin' for a showdown

[00:01:15] 'Cause I can't go on from night to dawn

[00:01:21] With Harlem on my mind

[00:01:26] I go to supper with a French Marquis

[00:01:31] Each evening after the show

[00:01:36] My lips begin to whisper "Mon Cheri"

[00:01:40] But my heart keeps singin' "Hi-de-ho"

[00:01:46] I've become too damned refined

[00:01:51] And at night I hate to go down

[00:01:56] To that high-falutin' flat that Lady Mendel designed

[00:02:02] With Harlem on my mind

[00:02:06] I've got Harlem on my mind

[00:02:12] And I'm longing to be lowdown

[00:02:17] And my 'Parlez-vous' will not ring true

[00:02:23] With Harlem on my mind

[00:02:28] I've been dined and I've been wined

[00:02:33] But sure as your born I'm headin' for a showdown

[00:02:38] 'Cause I can't go on from night to dawn

[00:02:44] With Harlem on my mind

[00:02:49] And when I'm bathing in my marble tub

[00:02:54] Each evening after the show

[00:02:59] I get to thinkin' 'bout that Cotton Club

[00:03:03] And my heart starts chirpin', "Hi-de-ho" help me

[00:03:09] I've been too damned refined

[00:03:12] And at night I hate to go down

[00:03:17] To that flat with fifty million Frenchmen taggin' behind

[00:03:23] With Harlem on my mind
