Harlem Nocturne Lyrics - The Ventures

This is the song of little Jo 

She's not the girl I used to know 

Forever screaming all the day and night 

She used to be a diplomat 

But now she's down the laundromat 

They washed her mind and now she finds it hard 

I know her name 

But now she never seems the same 

She don't talk to me 

'Cause she can't take no sympathy 

Because she's highly strung 

Oh, highly strung, she's undone 

Highly strung 

Oh, highly strung, she's undone

She's stepping out upon the ledge 

She's got a gun against her head 

She's wired up to blow the power line 

She's walking out upon the knife 

She'll take you to the edge of life 

Just like the song, the pressure is on again 

I know her name 

Ho, but now she never seems the same 

She don't talk to me 

'Cause she can't take no sympathy 

Because she's highly strung 

Oh, highly strung, she's undone 

Highly strung 

Oh, highly strung, she's undone

No, no, no 

I know her name 

Ho, but now she never seems the same 

She don't talk to me 

'Cause she can't take no sympathy 

Because she's highly strung 

Oh, highly strung, she's undone 

Highly strung 

Oh, highly strung, she's undone 

Highly strung 

Oh, highly strung, she's undone 

Highly strung 

Oh, highly strung, she's undone 

This is the song of little Jo 

She's not the girl I used to know
