EVIL HEARTED MAN
As recorded by Josh White, 1942.

When the sun rose this mornin', I was feelin' mighty bad.
My baby said: "Good mornin';" Hell, it made me mad,
CHORUS: Because I was evil, evil-hearted me.
I'm just downright evil, evil as a man can be.

Well she even cooked my breakfast and she brought it to my bed.
I took a sip o' coffee an' throwed the cup at her head,
CHORUS: Because I was evil....

I'm so out to the devil, trouble is all I crave.
I'd rather see you dead an' layin' in your grave.
CHORUS: You know I'm evil....

Well, I don't even care if it rains from now on
An' the gal I love hadn't never been born,
CHORUS: Because I'm evil....

Well, I don't even care, if my baby leaves me flat.
I got forty-leven others, if it comes to that.
CHORUS: You know I'm evil....
