My heart is
sad and I am so for lorn
Crying all of this long day
Why I regret the day that I was born
Since my loving man has gone away
Lord knows, I tried to treat him nice
But he became as cozy as a cake of ice
Now all my happiness has flown away
My heart is breaking while I say
I mean a good man, he's hard to find
You always get that, that other kind
When you think you got a pal
You look for him and find him
Messin' round some other gal
Well, you rave, you crave
Just to see him in his grave
So if your man is nice
Sister, take my advice
Hug him in the morning
Kiss him every night
Fall in love and love him
And treat him right
Because a good man
I said a good man is mighty
hard to find
My loving man was a real humdinger
That is until I found out he was a swinger
I sit and cry while my guy
is somewhere wailing
With a frail quail, some other nightingale
How come you do me like you do,
do, do?
What did I ever do to do to you?
Come back to me
I guarantee I'm gonna hug you
Kiss you
Mmm, yeah
Treat you right because a good man
I'm talking about a good man
I mean a really good man
Nowadays it's hard to find
