Karaoké Harlem River Blues Justin Townes Earle

Lord I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown

Dirty water gonna cover me over

I'm not gonna make a sound

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

When you see me walkin' up the FDR 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

'Cos Lord I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown

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

Good 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 takin' no chances

Carryin' over while I'm still good in His grace

And I'm no fool mama

I know the difference between temptin' and choosin' my fate

So Lord I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown

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

Lord I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown

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

Lord I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown

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