i'm
waiting for my man
got twenty six dollars in my hand
up to lexington one to five
feeling sick and dirty more dead than alive
oh sweet mama
i'm waiting for my man
hey white boy

no white boy you chase no women around
oh pardon me sir it's furthest from my mind
i'm just waitin' for a dear dear friend of mine
i'm waiting for my man
here he comes
he's all dressed in black
your shoes and a big straw head
he's never early he's always late
first thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
oh baby
i'm waiting for my man
here he comes
he's all dressed in black
he or shoes and a big straw hat
he's never early he's always late
first thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
oh mama i'm waiting for my man
hey baby
don't you holler darling don't you fall and shout
i'm feeling good and you know i'm gonna work it on out
i'm feeling good feeling so fine until tomorrow
but that's just some other time
oh babe
