steve earle - harlem river blues lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
lord, i’m going uptown
to the harlem river to drown
dirty water gonna cover me over
and i’m not gonna make a sound

[verse 1]
i’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

[verse 2]
when 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

[chorus]
’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 sound

[verse 3]
good times comе and they go
even a good man’ll break
hе’ll let his troubles bury him whole
even though he knows what’s at stake
[verse 4]
so 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 fate

[chorus]
so lord, i’m going uptown
to the harlem river to drown
dirty water gonna cover me over
and i’m not gonna make a sound

[chorus]
lord, i’m going uptown
to the harlem river to drown
dirty water gonna cover me over
and i’m not gonna make a sound

[chorus]
lord, i’m going uptown
to the harlem river to drown
dirty water gonna cover me over
and i’m not gonna make a sound
