Lyrics - Nadine

Nadine
(written by Chuck Berry, from 2004's WRVR Sessions '65)

I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat
I thought I saw my future bride walkin’ down the street
I shouted to the driver hey conductor, you must slow down
I think I see her, let me off this bus

Nadine, honey is that you?
Whoa, Nadine. Honey, where are you?
It seems like every time I see you darling you are with someone new

I saw her from the corner as she turned and doubled back
Started walkin’ towards a coffee colored Cadillac
Movin’ through the traffic tryin’ to get to where she’s at
And I was campaign shoutin’ like a southern diplomat

Nadine, honey is that you?
Whoa, Nadine. Honey, where are you?
It seems like every time I see you darling you are with someone new

Downtown searching for her, lookin’ all around
Saw her get into a yellow cab a headin’ up town
I grabbed a loaded taxi, paid up everybody’s tab
With a twenty dollar bill, and yelled “Catch that yellow cab!”

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh whoa, Nadine. Honey, where are you?
It seems like every time I see you darling you are with someone new

Downtown searching for her, lookin’ all around
Saw her get into a yellow cab a headin’ up town
I grabbed a loaded taxi, paid up everybody’s tab
With a twenty dollar bill, and yelled “Catch that yellow cab!”

Nadine, honey is that you?
Whoa, Nadine. Honey, where are you?
It seems like every time I catch up with you darling you are with someone new



I am nearly certain that I have correctly transcribed these lyrics. I listen to each song many times and write down what I hear but there are often lines that I struggle to understand. If you see a mistake and know the correct lyric, please feel free to email me. ( nowsoundsmusic97@yahoo.com)
