The Man in the Raincoat Priscilla Wright with Don Wright and The Septette Words and Music by Webster -Source: Original 45 RPM single release: Unique 303 Late in the evening out in the square A man in a raincoat standing there We met by the lamp where the newsboy cried He stole my heart with his laughing eyes He smiled as we climbed on the old street car I blushed when he asked are you traveling far The next time we met the sun shined all day We walked and we talked 'til the evening was grey He took me dancing we danced until dawn No happier couple had ever born I felt like a queen and he was my king He borrowed some money to buy me a ring But I'm still alone the cards are all down He's taken my money and skipped out of town Now when I pass the place where we met I'm wondering if I would forgive and forget Though fickle is my heart and foolishly proud I still keep on looking when out in a crowd For a man in raincoat standing there With laughing eyes and dark brown hair Transcribed by Murray Kirch These lyrics were transcribed from the specific recording mentioned above and do not necessarily correspond with lyrics from other recordings, sheet music, songbooks or lyrics printed on album jackets.
