Harlem River Blues

Lord, I'm going uptown

To the Harlem River to drown

Dirty water gonna cover me over

And I'm not gonna make a soundI'm on a roll, mama, I gotta go

Gotta get there while I still can

Troubled days are behind me now

And I know they're gonna let me inWhen you see me walking up the FDR

With a-singing and a-clapping my hands

Tell my mama I love her, tell my father I tried

Give my money to my baby to spend'Cause Lord, I'm going uptown

To the Harlem River to drown

Dirty water gonna cover me over

And I'm not gonna make a soundGood times come and they go

Even a good man'll break

He'll let his troubles bury him whole

Even though he knows what's at stakeSo I'm taking no chances

Carrying over while I'm still good in His grace

And I'm no fool, mama, I know the difference

Between tempting and choosing my fateSo Lord, I'm going uptown

To the Harlem River to drown

Dirty water gonna cover me over

And I'm not gonna make a soundLord, I'm going uptown

To the Harlem River to drown

Dirty water gonna cover me over

And I'm not gonna make a soundLord, I'm going uptown

To the Harlem River to drown

Dirty water gonna cover me over

And I'm not gonna make a sound
