Well he walks so tall to be so small
  Never met a man who's stranger
  He lives his life for a dollar sign
  And to deal with him is dangerous
  He knocked me down but I'm on my feet
  Now I'm so much wiser
  I'd rather quit and go back home
  Than to deal with the money miser
  Let's cry for this bad man
  I sing a song for the bad man
  
  Well, you treat me right baby, I'll treat you right
  That's the way its supposed to be
  I put my faith down in my friend
  And he almost put an end to me
  Well I work seven days a week
  Eight when I am able
  When you take money from me you take food from my mama's table
  Let's cry for this bad man
  I wrote a song for the bad man
  
  Oh baby you know who you are
  
  Let's cry for this bad man
  I wrote a song for the bad man way down in Georgia
  
  Well, you treat me right baby, I'll treat you right
  That's the way its supposed to be
  I put my faith down in my friend
  And he almost put an end to me
  Well, when you take my money baby when you hurt my family
  I go walkin' through the swamps without no shoes
  Step on a snake it scares you
  Let's cry for this bad man
  I wrote a song for the bad man
  Oh let's cry for this bad man
  I wrote a song for the bad man
  
  Oh baby straight to you
  He's so bad, so bad
