I'm Waiting for the Man - Live at Alice Tully Hall January 27, 1973 - 2nd Show

I'm waitin' for my man
Got 26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waitin' for my man

Hey white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest thing from my mind
I'm just waitin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waitin' 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 that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man
And here he comes now
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
Then he's gotta split because he's got no time to waste
I'm waitin' for my man

Hey baby, don't you holler, don't you bawl and shout
I'm feelin' good, your Uncle Lou is gonna work it on out
I'm feelin' good, feelin' so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waitin' for my man

I'm waitin' for my man
I'm waitin' for my man
I'm waiting for my man

One, two, three, four
