Waiting for the Man Lyrics

I'm waiting for the man Twenty-six dollars in my hand Up to Lexington 1-2-5 So 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 around Oh pardon me sir, it's the last thing on my mind I'm just looking for a very good friend of mine I'm waiting for the man Here he comes, he's all dressed in black Real shoes and a big straw hat He's never early, he's always late First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait I'm waiting for the man Baby don't you holler, honey don't you scream and shout I'm feeling good, I know I'm gonna work it all out I'm feeling good, I'm feel oh so fine Until tomorrow but that's just another time I'm waiting for the man I'm waiting for the man Twenty-six dollars in my hand Up to Lexington 1-2-5 So sick and dirty more dead than alive I'm waiting for the man To walk me home
