MISTER, YOU'RE A BETTER MAN THAN I
Mike Hugg, Brian Hugg

1. Can you judge a man by the way he wears his hair?
Can you read his mind by the clothes that he wears?
Can you see a bad man by the pattern on his tie?

CHORUS: Well then, mister, you're a better man than I
Yeah, mister, you're a better man than I.
Oh, mister, you're a better man than I.
Yeah, mister, you're a better man than I.

2. Could you tell a wise man by the way he speaks or spells?
Is this more important than the stories that he tells?
And call a man a fool if for wealth he doesn't strive? CHORUS

3. Can you condemn a man if your faith he doesn't hold?
Say the colour of his skin is the colour of his soul?
Could you say that men for king and country all must die? CHORUS

[Recorded by The Yardbirds, Sham 69, New Colony Six, and a few others, and frequently included in "best of" collections of Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton.]
