There's a bad man that I once knew His heart was black and his blood was blue Bad man, he's comin' for you He'd sell his wife for a dollar or two To be a rich man with many maids He's got eyes like hand grenades He had a good woman In the palm of his hand Until she left him for another man
Now he's a bad, bad man A bad, bad man You gotta' do what you can When you're a bad man
(Everyone gotta' be a bad man every once in a while, the lord knows he's 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's still black His only love stabbed him in the back
Now he's a bad, bad man 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
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
