See a bad man I once knew His heart was black and his blood was blue Bad man, come for you Sell his wife for a dollar or two To be a rich man, many maids He's got eyes like hand grenades He had a good woman Palm of his hand 'Til she left him for another man
Bad, bad man You're a bad, bad man You gotta do what you can When you're a bad man
See bad man, that's the truth The Devil's law don't need no proof Jealous man all alone Motel room is not a home Helpless man, he fell ill Was prescribed the fatal pill Now he's dead man Heart's still black His only love stabbed him in the back
Bad, bad man You're a bad, bad man You gotta do what you can When you're a bad man
{Ah The Lord knows everybody can be a bad man Every once in a while Yes, I am glad you're a bad man}
S' bad, bad man You're a bad, bad man You gotta do what you can When you're a bad man
You're a bad, bad man You're a bad, bad man You gotta do what you can When you're a bad man
