        Am
Well he walks so tall to be so small
   C           D          Am
I Never met a man who's stranger
Lives his life for a dollar sign
        C         D      Am
And to deal with him is dang'rous

He knocked me down but I'm on my feet
Now I'm so much wiser
I'd rather quit and go back home
Than to deal with the money miser

Chorus:
        G           Am
Let's cry for this bad man
          C    D       Am
I sing a song for the bad man

Well, you treat me right baby,
I'll treat you right
That's the way it's supposed to be
I put my faith down in my friend

And he almost put an end to me
Well I work seven days a week
Eight when I am able
When you take my money from me,
you take food from my mama's table

Chorus
Let's cry for this bad man
I wrote a song for the bad man

Oh baby you know who you are
Let's cry for this bad man
I wrote a song for the bad man,
way down in Georgia

Well, you treat me right baby,
I'll treat you right
That's the way it's supposed to be
I put my faith down in my friend
And he almost put an end to me

Well, when you take my money baby,
when you hurt my family
It's like walking through the swamps
without no shoes
Step on a snake, it scares you

Chorus - x2

Oh baby straight to you
He's so bad, so bad
