When the sun rose this mornin' I was feeling mighty bad Well, my baby said, "Good mornin'" Hell, it made me so mad Because l'm evil, well, evil hearted me I'm just downright evil, evil as a man can be Well, she even cooked my breakfast And she brought it to my bed I took a sip of coffee And threw the cup at her head Because l was evil, evil hearted me I'm just doggone evil, evil as a man can be I'm so out to the devil Trouble is all I crave I'd rather see you dead and in your grave I'm just downright evil, evil as a man can be I'm just downright evil, evil as a man can be And I don't even care If it rains from now on An' if the girl that I love Ain't never been bo'n Because l'm evil, evil hearted me I'm just downright evil, evil as a man can be Well I don't even care If my baby leaves me flat 'Cause I got forty-seven others If it comes to that Because l'm evil, evil hearted me I'm so doggone evil, evil as a man can be
