Lyrics (other version)
As I got on a city bus and found my vacant seat
I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street
I shouted to the driver, "Hey conductor, you must slow down
I think I see her, please let me off the bus"
[Choru1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 trying to get to where she's at
And I was campaign shouting like a southern democrat
[Chorus]
Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey where are you?
Seems like every time I catch you
But you're up to something new
[Verse 3]
Downtown searching for her, looking all around
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading uptown
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab
Flip the twenty dollar bill and told him catch that yellow cab
[Chorus]
Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey is that you?
Seems like every time I catch you
You're up to something new
[Verse 4]
She moved around like a wayward summer breeze
Go, driver, go, go on, catch her for me please
Moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear
[Chorus]
Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey is that you?
Seems like every time I see you, darling
You're up to something new
Story of travel:
My brothers and I grew up playing music together, and though we live thousands of miles apart now, we have "virtually" reunited on this classic Chuck Berry tune that we used to play. Not quite the same as getting together, but still fun. Our mom would have loved it.
This Tuesday, October 20, 2020, at 7 PM Eastern (4 PM West Coast), Dave is going to perform a YouTube Live streaming concert for The Folk Project. Unlike previous livestreams, this time I will be performing songs on both guitar and keyboards! As usual, the concert is free, but donations will be gladly accepted.
