Lyrics I'm Waiting for the Man - May 1965 Alternate Version - Lou Reed

Now you can retune

I'm waiting for my man
26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, one-two-five
Feelin' dirty for a day and a life
I'm waiting for the man

Hey white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey white boy, you chasin' my women around
Pardon me sir, nothing could be further from my mind
I'm just waitin' 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 big straw hat
He's never early, he is always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait

I'm, I'm waiting for the man
Leave it down like that
