NATCHILLY AIN'T NO GOOD
(Jerry Reed Hubbard)


Connie Smith - 1968





Uh-huh, huh-huh
Uh-huh, huh-huh

Some people are born with a set of values honest and fair
But you were born with a streak of mean and you natchilly just don't care
To the eyes of the world our love must look like one funny joke
'Cause you never made one vow to me that you ain't already broke

Yes, you just natchilly ain't no good, boy, you just natchilly ain't no good
Yes, your mama and your daddy didn't raise you like they should
Well your heart is stone and your soul is black and you're as mean as sin could be
No you ain't no good to yourself or nobody and you're that way natchilly

(Instrumental Break)
Uh-huh, huh-huh
Uh-huh, huh-huh
Uh-huh, huh-huh
Uh-huh, huh-huh

The eyes of love are blind I hear, that's what some fella wrote
But I can close my eyes and smell that perfume on your coat
Now I could scream and pitch a fit, start fussin' and lose my cool
But you'd just laugh and look at me, honey, like I'm some kind of fool

Yes, you just natchilly ain't no good, boy, you just natchilly ain't no good
Yes, your mama and your daddy didn't raise you like they should
Well your heart is stone and your soul is black and you're as mean as sin could be
No you ain't no good to yourself or nobody and you're that way natchilly

Uh-huh, huh-huh
Uh-huh, huh-huh
Uh-huh, huh-huh
Uh-huh, huh-huh
