Hell in Harlem Songtext
von Anders Osborne

I went down uptown Harlem
To seek my sweet love
Nothing turned out the way we planned
Only push and shove
I was down, down, down, down, down in Harlem
Down, down, down, down, down in Harlem
Oh yeah, uh huh, oh yeah, uh huh
Oh yeah, it was hell in Harlem
She′s no longer the woman I knew
From the time in Israel
She's so changed, I guess I am too
Now you won′t hold off those wedding bells
I fell down, down, down, down, down in Harlem
I fell down, down, down, down, down in Harlem
Oh yeah, uh huh, oh yeah, uh huh
Oh yeah, it was hell in Harlem


She used to be a flying bird
Open to most everything
Now she's become just a small town mind
A bug and someone cut her wings
She fell down, down, down, down, down in Harlem
Down, down, down, down, down in Harlem
Oh yeah, uh huh, oh yeah, uh huh
Oh yeah, it was hell in Harlem
She had a picture of me as the man
To take her worries away
I tell ya I'd do anything for sweet little girl
But I′m stubborn and I′ll do it my own way
I fell down hard on my face
Down, I fell down, down, down, down in Harlem
Oh yeah, uh huh, oh yeah, uh huh
Oh yeah, it was hell in Harlem
