On My Way to Harlem

I found out on my way to Harlem

Ellington, you don't live 'round here

He moved away one day, so they say

From Harlem, I can hear his echo still

Now, now, now you can't keep me

Away from where I was born

I was baptized by my Daddy's horn

Now, now, now you can't keep me

Away from where I was born

I was baptized by a jazz man's horn, oh

I found out on my way through Harlem

Langston Hughes, he don't live 'round here

He moved away one day

From his way here, in Harlem

I know that Marvin Gaye

Used to play right here

Somebody say you can't keep me

Away from where I was born

I was baptized by my Daddy's horn

No, you can't keep me away

From where I was born

I was baptized to the sound of horn, oh

I found out on my way to Harlem

Ellington you don't live around here

He moved away one day, so they say

Away from Harlem, I can hear his echoes clear

Oh, now you can't keep me away

From where I was born

I was baptized by my Daddy's horn

Now, now, now you can't keep me away

From where I was born

I was baptized by the sound of horn

Woah, I found out on my way through Harlem

Marvin Gaye, he use to play

What's Going On, right over there

I sure could use some of those blues

From Langston Hughes

Hey

There goes that A Train

Hey

There goes that A Train

Through Harlem

Hey

There goes that A Train

Hey

There goes that A Train

Hey

There goes that A Train
