I Saw Linda Yesterday - BlackJack

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, dumb de dodie-dodie,

Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie,

Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie-do,

dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dumb-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, dumb-didly, dumb-didly, dumb-dumb-dum…

Hey, hey, dumb de dodie-dodie,

Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie,

Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie-do,

dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dum…
