I Saw Linda Yesterday

I Saw Linda Yesterday

Dickey Lee

(Hey, hey, hey, hey-ay, hey, hey, hey, hey-ay)

Nights didn't seem so long no more,

Ain't one man like it was before --

Just when I thought I was really okay,

I saw Linda yesterday.

My heart went up, down,

Like a merry-go-round and? round,

Like a forest fire, Down, down,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

Looked like I'd found peace of mind,

Looked like I was gonna make it this time --

Just when I thought I was really okay,

I saw Linda yesterday.

Oh, she smiled that same old smile,

My heart was runnin' wild --

My love for her is reelin'

As I go off the ceilin',

(Hey, hey, dum de dodie-dodie,

Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie,

Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie-do,

Dum-diddly, dum-diddly, dum-dum-dum...)

Go straight to a lonely guy,

Sit around and watch me cry --

People ask what's wrong, I say,

"I saw Linda yesterday."

My heart went up, down,

Like a merry-go-round and? round,

Like a forest fire, Down, down,

Oh, oh, oh, dum-didly, dum-didly, dum-dum-dum...

Hey, hey, dum de dodie-dodie,

Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie,

Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie-do,

Dum-diddly, dum-diddly, dum-dum...
