When the sun rose this morning
I was feeling mighty bad
Well, my baby said, "Good morning"
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 laying 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 born
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
I've 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
