Lyrics Evil-Hearted Woman (Take 1) - Leroy Carr

Evil-Hearted Woman (Take 1)

You evil‑hearted woman: you got a heart like a stone
You don’t mean me no good: so I leave you alone
You used to be sweet: but you ain’t sweet no more
You want to leave me alone: and stay away from my door
You’re just like a rattler: you always ready to bite
So I’m going to get me a good woman: who will treat me right
Yes you’re evil: just as evil as you can be
I don’t want you to cook for me no more: because you might poison me
So be on your way evil‑hearted woman: and stay away from my door
I done took your foolishness long enough: and I don’t want you no more
