I'm Waiting for the Man - May 1965 Demo
"I'm Waiting for the Man" words and music we'll read
I'm waiting for the man
26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for the man
Hey, white boy, what're you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you're chasin' our women around?
(Oh, pardon me sir, nothing can be fun for a night)
I-I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for the man
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a PR hat (a big straw hat) (come on, thank you)
He's never early, he's always late (I'll catch up next time)
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for the man
I'll solo if you don't
Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares
He's got the works, and he gives you sweet taste
Then he's gotta leave because he's got no time to waste
I'm just waiting for my man
Baby, don't you holler, darlin', don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, and you know I'm gonna work it all out
I'm feeling good, oh, I'm feeling real fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for the man
I'm waiting for the man
26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for the man
Hey, white boy, what're you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you're chasin' our women around?
(Oh, pardon me sir, nothing can be fun for a night)
I-I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for the man
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a PR hat (a big straw hat) (come on, thank you)
He's never early, he's always late (I'll catch up next time)
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for the man
I'll solo if you don't
Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares
He's got the works, and he gives you sweet taste
Then he's gotta leave because he's got no time to waste
I'm just waiting for my man
Baby, don't you holler, darlin', don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, and you know I'm gonna work it all out
I'm feeling good, oh, I'm feeling real fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for the man
