I Saw Linda Yesterday Lyrics - Dickey Lee

I Saw Linda Yesterday 

Dickey Lee 

Written by 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, 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... 

(Fade)
