Yeah, yeah
A man just stole my woman from me
Took her down to Tennessee
She was the best girl I ever knew
If it weren't for him, she'd still be true
I always been a good man, it's been said
But when I catch that man, he'll wish he were dead
Men like him make good men mad
Starting today, I'm gonna be bad
Yeah yeah yeah
Hey hey
