INTRO
G G C G D G
G C
Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown
G D G
Dirty water's gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound
VERSE 1
G C
I'm on a roll, mama, I gotta go, I gotta get there while I still can
G D
Troubled days are behind me now and I know they're gonna let me in
G
So when you see me walkin' up the empty yard,
C
just a-singin' and a-clappin' my hands
G
Tell my mama I loved her, tell my father I tried,
D G
give my money to my baby to spend
CHORUS
G C
'cause Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown
G D G
Dirty water's gonna cover me over and I'm not gonna make a sound
VERSE 2
G C
Good times come and they go, even a good man'll break
G
He'll let his troubles bury him whole,
D
even though he knows what's at stake
G
So I'm taking no chances, carrying over,
C
while I'm still good in His grace
G D G
I'm no fool, mama, I know the difference between tempting and choosing my fate
CHORUS
G C
'cause Lord, I'm goin' uptown to the Harlem River to drown
G D G
Dirty water's 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
