Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Ah, up to Lexington one, two, five
So sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for the man
[Verse 2]
Hey, white boy
What you doin' in town?
Hey, white boy
You chasin' all the women around
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
Ohh, real shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing your learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for the man
[Verse 5]
Brown stone building, up three flights of stairs
Nobody stops you 'cause nobody cares
He's got the works and he gives you sweet taste
Then you gotta split because you've got no time to waste
I'm waiting for the man
[Verse 6]
Baby, don't you holler, darling, don't you bawl and shout
Oh I'm feeling good, I'm gonna work it on out
Yeah I'm feeling good, I'm feeling so fine
Until tomorrow but that's just another time
I'm waiting for the man
I'm waiting
[Verse 7]
I'm waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington one, two, five
So sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for the man
