EVIL HEARTED MAN
(Traditional / White)

Josh White - 1944

Well, I woke up this mornin'
I was feeling mighty bad
Well, my baby said, "Good mornin'"
Hell, it made me so mad
Because l'm evil, well, evil hearted me
I'm so doggone evil, evil as a man can be

Well, she even cooked my breakfast
And she brought it to my bed
I took a sip of coffee
And threw the cup at her head
Because l was evil, evil hearted me
I'm just doggone evil, evil as a man can be

Now I don't even care
If my baby leaves me flat
'Cause I got forty-seven others
If it comes to that
Because l'm evil, evil hearted me
I'm so doggone evil, evil as a man can be

And I don't even care
If it rains from now on
An' if the girl that I love
Ain't never been bo'n
Because l'm evil, evil hearted me
And I'm so doggone evil, evil as a man can be
