As I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat, I thought I saw my future bride walkin' up the street, I shouted to the driver "hey conductor, you must slow down. I think I see her please let me off this bus" Nadine, honey is that you? Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you? Seems like every time I see you darling you got something else to do. I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back And started walkin' toward a coffee colored Cadillac I was pushin' through the crowd to get to where shes at And I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat. Downtown searching for her, looking all around, Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town. I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybodys tab. With a twenty-dollar bill, told him "catch that yellow cab." She moves around like a wave of summer breeze, Go, driver, go, go, catch her balmy breeze. Moving through the traffuc like a mounted cavalier Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear.

Elmore James The sky is crying Look at the tears roll down the street The sky is crying Look at the tears roll down the street I'm feeling sad and lonely My baby's left me Understanding and a little lovin' A little love is all that I need Understanding and a little lovin' A little love is all that I need But misunderstanding and a no-good woman They both cause my heart to bleed Now every morning The weeping willows weep for me Now every morning baby The weeping willows weep for me The birds sing a little tune I wish they'd sing my baby back home to me The sky is crying Look at the tears roll down the street The sky is crying Look at the tears roll down the street I'm feeling sad and lonely My baby's left me
