His name was Coalhouse Walker
Was a native of St. Louis some years before
When he heard the music of Scott Joplin in St. Louis
Bought himself some piano lessons
Working as a stevedore
It was the 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 and saw me lonely and
Loveless and thought to himself, "Enough is enough
I'm putting Sarah into Coalhouse's life"
And he did
This wasn't a woman, this was an angel
A gift of God (yes sir, yes sir)
And Coalhouse loved this woman, but not wisely and not too well
She left me without a word or a trace
There was no pity for me
None at all, 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 gonna do my damnedest to see she takes me back!
Was a native of St. Louis some years before
When he heard the music of Scott Joplin in St. Louis
Bought himself some piano lessons
Working as a stevedore
It was the 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 and saw me lonely and
Loveless and thought to himself, "Enough is enough
I'm putting Sarah into Coalhouse's life"
And he did
This wasn't a woman, this was an angel
A gift of God (yes sir, yes sir)
And Coalhouse loved this woman, but not wisely and not too well
She left me without a word or a trace
There was no pity for me
None at all, 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 gonna do my damnedest to see she takes me back!
