[Verse 1]
Well, when the sun rose this mornin'
I was feeling mighty bad
My baby said, "Good morning"
Hell, it made me mad
Because I was evil, evil-hearted me
I'm downright evil, evil as a man can be

[Verse 2]
Well, she even cooked my breakfast
And she brought it to my bed
I took a sip of coffee
And throwed cup at her head
Because I was evil, evil-hearted me
Yeah, I'm downright evil, evil as a man can be

[Verse 3]
I don't even care
If my baby leaves me flat
I got forty livin' others
If it comes to that
You know I'm evil, evil-hearted me
Downright evil, evil as a man can be

[Verse 4]
I'm a deep sea diver
With a stroke that can't go wrong (Deep sea diver, deep sea diver)
Yeah, I'm a deep sea diver
With a stroke that can't go wrong (Deep-sea diver, deep-sea diver)
I can scrape the bottom
And my wind holds out so long
[Verse 5]
I bought me a coffee grinder
I got the best one that I could find
Yeah, I bought me a coffee grinder
Got got the best one that I could find
So, she could grind my coffee
'Cause she had a brand-new grind

[Verse 6]
I boiled her first cabbage
And I made it oh so hot
I boiled her first cabbage
And I made it oh so hot
And when I put in the bacon
Lord, it overflowed the pot

[Verse 7]
So, when you get good lovin'
Don't you go and spread the news (Get good lovin', get good lovin')
And when you get good lovin', baby
Don't go and spread the news (Get good lovin', get good lovin')
'Cause your man will leave you
Get those empty bed blues
