Theres a bad man that I once knew His heart was black and his blood was blue Bad man, hes commin for you Hed sell his wife for a dollar or two To be a rich man with many maids Hes got eyes like hand grenades He had a good woman In the palm of his hand Until she left him for another man
Now hes a bad, bad man A bad, bad man You gotta do what you can When youre a bad man
(Everyone gotta be a bad man every once in a while, the lord knows hes a bad man )
Hes a bad man and thats the truth The devils law dont need no proof Hes a jealous man .All alone A motel room is not a home Helpless man, he fell ill He was prescribed a fatal pill Now hes a dead man His hearts still black His only love stabbed him in the back
Now hes a bad, bad man A bad, bad man You gotta do what you can When youre a bad man
Now hes a bad, bad man A bad, bad man You gotta do what you can
Cos you're a bad bad man You're a bad bad man You're a bad bad man You got to do what you can When you're a bad man
