Bad man

See the bad man, I once knew
His heart was black and his blood was blue
Bad man, he's comin' for you
Sell his wife for a dollar or two

To be a rich man with many maids
He's got eyes like handgrenades
He had a good woman
In the palm of his hand
Until 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

He's a bad man and that's the truth
The devil's law don't need no proof
He's a jealous man, all alone
A motel room is not a home

Helpless man, he fell ill
He was prescribed a fatal pill
Now he's a dead man
His heart 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

Now he's a bad, bad man
A bad, bad man
You gotta' do what you can

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
