[people of harlem]
his name was coalhouse walker
[man 1]
was a native of st. louis some years before
[woman 1]
when he heard the music of old scott joplin
[man 2]
in st. louis
[woman 2]
bought himself some piano lessons
working as a stevedore
[man 3]
here was a music
that truly inspired him
[ladies]
dancers required him
[men]
club owners hired him
[people of harlem]
the strivers of harlem
respected and admired him
[man 4]
for turning harlem into art
[coalhouse]
but coalhouse had a broken heart…
(spoken)
the good lord looked down, saw me lonely and loveless
and thought to himself: “enough is enough. i’m putting
sarah in coalhouse’s life.”
(sung)
and he did
(spoken)
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
[sarah’ s friend]
none whatsoever, coalhouse
[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-mnedest to
see she takes me back. ladies and gentlemen, the
gettin’ ready rag!
