Evil-Hearted Woman (Take 1) - Leroy Carr

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
