Harlem Blues – Nat King Cole lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

I’ve searched each hole in the corner
From the Battery to the Bronx

From the most exclusive
To the honky tonks

I’ve sought her at the movie houses, cabarets and parks
Advertisin’ the age and the loof

And since my sweetie left me
Harlem ain’t the same ol’ place

Though a thousand flappers
Smile right in my face

I think I’ll mooch some homemade hooch
And go out for a lark

Just to drive off those mean Harlem Blues
Just to drive off those mean Harlem Blues
Just to drive off those mean Harlem Blues
