Trying to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom

  F
Eliza, I don’t have a dollar to my name
    Bb
An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame

All I have’s my honor, a tolerance for pain

No stress, my love for you is never in doubt

We’ll get a little place in Harlem and we’ll figure it out

I’ve been livin’ without a family since I was a child
           F
My father left, my mother died, I grew up buckwild
       Bb
But I’ll never forget my mother’s face, that was real
