Thereâ??s a bad man that I once knew
His heart was black and his blood was blue
Bad man, heâ??s comminâ?? for you
Heâ??d sell his wife for a dollar or two
To be a rich man with many maids
Heâ??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 heâ??s a bad, bad man
A bad, bad man
You gottaâ?? do what you can
When youâ??re a bad man

(Everyone gottaâ?? be a bad man every once in a while, the lord knows heâ??s a bad man )

Heâ??s a bad man and thatâ??s the truth
The devilâ??s law donâ??t need no proof
Heâ??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 heâ??s a dead man
His heartâ??s still black
His only love stabbed him in the back

Now heâ??s a bad, bad man
A bad, bad man
You gottaâ?? do what you can
When youâ??re a bad man

Now heâ??s a bad, bad man
A bad, bad man
You gottaâ?? 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
