Lyrics:

I'm waiting for my man take one

I'm waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feeling sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for the man

Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women 'round?

Oh pardon me sir, nothing would be further from my mind
I'm-- I'm just waiting for a dear, dear friend of mine

I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man take two

I'm waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feeling sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for the man

Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women 'round?

Oh pardon me sir, nothing would be further from my mind
I'm-- I'm just waiting for a dear, dear friend of mine

I'm waiting for my man

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man


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

Baby don't you holler--
I'm waiting for my man take three

I'm waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feeling sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for the man

Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women 'round?

Oh pardon me sir, nothing would be further from my mind
I'm-- I'm just waiting for a dear, dear friend of mine

I'm waiting for my man

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man



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

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
