Im Waiting For The Man

[Intro]

[Primeira Parte]


I m waitin for my man

26 dollars in my hand

Up to Lexington, 125, feel sick and dirty more dead than alive

I m waitin for my man

[Segunda Parte]


Hey, white boy, what you doin uptown?

Hey, white boy, you chasin our women around?

Oh pardon me sir, it s the furthest from my mind

I m just lookin for a dear, dear friend of mine

I m waiting for my man

[Terceira Parte]


Here he comes, he s all dressed in black

Beat up shoes and a big straw hat

He s never early, he s always late

First thing you learn is you always gotta wait

[Quarta Parte]


Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs

Everybody s pinned you, but nobody cares

He s got the works, gives you sweet taste

Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste

I m waiting for my man

[Quinta Parte]


Baby don t you holler, darlin don t you bawl and shout

I m feeling good, you know I m gonna work it on out

I m feeling good, I m feeling oh so fine

Until tomorrow, but that s just some other time

I m waiting for my man
