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