Backbiters and Syndicators Songtext
von John Lee Hooker

Back biters and syndicators
Standing all around the door
Back biters and syndicators
Standing all around the door
And it whispered everyday
Hopin′ I'd go way to stay

Ooh-wee, ooh, almost ruin my happy home
Ooh-wee, ooh, almost ruin my happy home

I be glad when the day come
You leave these syndicators alone


I can′t understand, little girl
That they don't mean you no good
I can't understand, little girl
That you don′t know they don′t mean you no good

You'll find these kinds of people
In any neighborhood

Back biters and syndicators
Can′t you see 'em standin′ 'round the door?
Back biters and the syndicators
Can′t you see 'em standin' ′round the door?

I′m gonna move on down the line
I don't have to be bothered no more
