Harlem River Blues (Reprise)

Lord, I'm goin' 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 in

When you see me walkin' up the empty yard, just a-singin' and a-clappin' 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 goin' 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 stake

So I'm taking no chances, carrying over while I'm still good in His grace

Sayin' I'm no fool, mama, I know the difference between tempting and choosing my fate'Cause Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown

Dirty water gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a soundLord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown

Dirty water gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a soundLord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown

Dirty water gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound
