[00:00:01] You can never tell

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:28] Nobody knows

[00:00:30] Nobody knows

[00:00:34] The man I love

[00:00:36] Well

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

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

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

[00:00:46] Six feet underground

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

[00:00:55] No no

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

[00:01:03] Gone for good

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:57] To Poro System too

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:16] Harlem

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:34] Mean ole Harlem blues

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:06] And call them

[00:04:10] The Harlem blues

[00:04:20] Harlem

[00:04:23] The

[00:04:23] Harlem blues
