歌曲歌詞
His name was Coalhouse Walker
Was a native of St Louis some years before
When he heard the music of old Scott Joplin
In St Louis
Bought himself some piano lessons
Working as a stevedore
Here was a music
That truly inspired him
Dancers required him
Club owners hired him
The strivers of Harlem
Respected and admired him
For turning Harlem into art
But Coalhouse had a broken heart
The good Lord looked down saw me lonely and loveless
And thought to himself
And thought to himself enough is enough is enough I'm putting
Sarah in Coalhouse's life
Sung
And he did
This wasn't a woman this was an angel a gift of God
Coalhouse loved this woman but not wisely and not
Too well she left me without a word or trace there was
No pity for me
None whatsoever Coalhouse
Now she is haunting me
Just like a melody
The only song I seem to know
Sarah my life has changed
Sarah I miss you so
Sarah I did you wrong
Sarah where did you go
And then this morning the miracle happened I found
Out where she is and I'm going to do my d**nedest to
See she takes me back
