From the 1972 LP "Roy Orbison sings"

The woman is out on her own.

Walking the streets, sad and alone.

Yes she sells herself for nickles and dimes.

These are hard times for a Harlem woman.

Harlem woman.

Yes you work at night.I have held you tight.

But you're not aware of how much I care.

No you can't see your baby's been hungry and cold.

So long nights through, go on and do what you must do,

I love you.I love you Harlem woman.

Harlem woman.

Sometimes I cry, but I'll get by till your mine alone.

So carry on to other arms,tender but strong.

Till you belong to me

Harlem woman hang on.

I'll take you away.

Someday I'll set you free to be with only me.

Till then I'll know,...

Lord knows, I'll know

They can buy the body

But not the soul of my Harlem woman

Harlem woman, Harlem woman

Hang on

People complain about music like this being overlooked, but, it's better that way. It means there are all these little treasures to discover. Those that take the time to discover them, deserve them and those that don't discover anything without it being spoonfed to them, do not. Does anyone really want their favourite songs, the ones that feel so personal, to suddenly become very popular and taken from you and become everyones?

I heard this song long time ago on a radio fanclub evening. Never heard it before, did not even mean what the text was about, but my heart broke and so the tears. The emotion the drama, the climax. Amazing. Wy is this kind of music underappreciated?
