[Instrumental]

[Verse]
It was a sad night in Harlem
There was no moonlight in Harlem
The girl he loves, she was gone, far away
Gone with the dawn, gone to stay
There was no "Farewell, my lover"
She stole away undercover
Now while she's one of those queens
Down in New Orleans
It's a sad night in Harlem

[Instrumental]
