Lyrics Gregory Porter

Gregory Porter

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 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 to 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 cant 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 to Harlem

Marvin Gaye used to play whats 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
