A Good Man Is Hard to Find Lyrics by Bessie Smith

The Complete Recordings, Vol. 3

0

[Verse 1]
My heart is sad and I'm all alone
My man's treating me mean
I regret the day that I was born
And the man I ever seen
My happiness is less today
My heart is broke, that's why I say
[Chorus:]
Lord, a good man is hard to find
You always get another kind
Just when you think that he's your pal
You look and find him foolin' 'round some old gal
Then you rave, you all crave
You want to see him in his grave
So if your man is nice, take my advice;
Hug him in the morning, kiss him at night
Give him plenty lovin'; treat your good man right
Oh, a good man is so hard to find
[Chorus:]
We always get that roughed old kind
Just when you think that he's your pal
You like and find him hangin' 'round some old gal
Then you rave, how you crave
You wanna see him dead layin' in his grave
So if your man is nice, take my advice
Hug him in the morning, kiss him at night
Give him plenty love madam, treat your man right
Cause a good man nowadays sure is hard to find
