Duke Ellington — It Was a Sad Night in Harlem

[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]
