I’m Waiting for the Man [1969 The Velvet Underground Live]

[Intro]
"Good evening. We're the Velvet Underground. [?] Glad you could all make it. This is, uh, our last night here, and I’m glad to see you all showed up. Um, do you people have a curfew or anything like that? Does it matter what time you go home tonight? Do you have school tomorrow? Nobody here has school tomorrow? Yeah, see? 'Cause we could do either one long set or we could do two sets, you know, which ever would make it easier for you. One long? Okay. Okay, then this is gonna go on for a while, so we should get used- get used to each other. Settle back, pull up your cushions, whatever else [?] that makes live bearable in Texas
We saw your cowboys [?] This is a song called 'I’m Waiting for my Man.'"

[Verse 1]
I'm waiting for my man
Got twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feeling sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man

[Verse 2]
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind
I'm just waitin’ for a good, good friend of mine
I’m waiting for my man

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Run up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Now everybody's pinned you, baby, but nobody cares
He’s got the works, gives you sweet taste
Ah, then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man

[Verse 5]
Hey baby don't you holler, oh don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, and oh so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man

[Outro]
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man

"Thank you"
