A Good Man Is Hard to Find
[Verse]
- My heart's sad and I am all forlorn,
- My man's treating me mean,
- I regret the day that I was born,
- And that man of mine I've ever seen,
- My happiness it never lasts a day,
- My heart is almost breaking while I say:
[Chorus]
- A good man is hard to find,
- You always get the other kind,
- Just when you think that he is your pal
- You look for him and find him fooling 'round some other gal,
- Then you rave, you even crave
- To see hem laying in his grave;
- So if your man is nice
- Take my advice
- And hug him in the morning
- Kiss him every night,
- Give him plenty lovin', treat him right
- For a good man nowadays is hard to find.
[Verse]
- Yesterday my heart from care was free,
- I sang all through the day,
- Now the Blues have overtaken me,
- Since my lovin' man has gone away,
- I tried my best to treat him nice and kind,
- But now these words are running thro' my mind:
