On My Way to Harlem - Gregory Porter

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 echoes 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 my away from where I was born

I was baptized by the jazz man's horn

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 use to play right in here

Some body 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 horns

I found out on my way to Harlem

Ellington you don't live 'round 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 now you can't keep me away from where I was born

I was baptized by the sound of horns

Oh I found out on my way through Harlem

Marvin gaye used to play what's going on right over there

I so could use some of those blues from Langston Hughes

Hey there goes the a train

Hey there goes the a train

Through Harlem

Hey there goes the a train

Hey there goes the a train

Hey there goes the a train
