[Intro]
G C G D G
[Chorus]
G C Lord, I'm goin' uptown, to the Harlem River to drown, G D G Dirty water 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 C So when you see me walkin' up the FDR drive, just a-singin' and a-clappin' my hands G D G Tell my mama I love her, tell my Daddy I tried, give my money to my baby to spend.
[Chorus]
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 2]
G C Good times come and they go, even a good man'll break G D He'll let his troubles bury him whole even though he knows what's at stake G C So I'm taking no chances, carrying over 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 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 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
