Dirty No-Gooder's Blues Songtext
von Amina Claudine Myers

Have you ever been in love
With a man that was no good?
Have you ever been in love
With a man that was no good?
No matter what you did for him
He never understood

The meanest thing he would say
Would thrill you through and through
The meanest thing he would say
Would thrill you through and through
And there wasn′t nothin' too dirty
For that man to do


He′d treat you nice and kind
Until he wins your heart and hand
He'd treat you nice and kind
'Till he wins your heart and hand
Then he′d get so cruel
That man you could not stand

Lord I really don′t think
No man's love can last, that′s what I said baby
Lord, I really don't think
No man′s love can last
They'll love you to death
Then treat you as a thing of the past

There′s nineteen men
Livin' in my neighborhood
There's nineteen men
Livin′ in my neighborhood
Eighteen of them are fools
And the one ain′t no doggone good

Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
That dirty no-good man
Oh, treats me just like I'm a dog
Oh, yeah
