The Days of David McWilliams- 12 Harlem Lady

She walks the dirty streets, and she breaths a breath of Spring
She has bells upon her shoes, and she wears a diamond ring
Everybody passing by, says, look there goes our queen
Ain't she the prettiest thing, that you have ever seen

She is a Harlem lady
She is a Harlem lady
She is a Harlem lady, and she's much too good for me

Money men can't but her, her mind is all her own
She ain't got no ties to bind her, she ain't got no home
If you pass her on the street she'll smile and say hello
But don't you get too close guy, she just don't wanna know

She is a Harlem lady
She is a Harlem lady
She is a Harlem lady, and she's much too good for me

When she speaks the minutes stop, the hours quickly fly
When she loves it feels so good, like I'm flyin' in the sky
But don't you try to reach her, for she's too far out you
And man she gives her love, to nobody of me

She is a Harlem lady
She is a Harlem lady
She is a Harlem lady, and she's much too good for me

I always thought this was the A side .Sorely missed talent

[SouthCoastMackem]

Vastly underrated artist. This is so good.

@jgthetest12 This song was the B side of "Days of Pearly Spencer", great song which peaked at #2 in the French charts while it went nowhere in UK (???). "Harlem Lady" is a nice song and David McWillams never had the career he deserved. He passed away at 56 on January 8, 2002.
