Do No Good Woman

(Waylon Jennings)



You're looking at the man who's living in the wrong time

My mind's lost in my lonesome past

I wrote myself a sad song about troubles and a worried mind

And a do no good woman my first one and my last.



Well, I wanted the world to know her like I do

Some I tried to paint her picture in a song

I sang the blues but the only words that I knew

Were do no good woman I love you right or wrong.



--- Instrumental ---



From the streets of New Orleans to a Panthouse in Chicago

I tried to play the love before a time

But I just can't hold a woman in the night with the light's low

With a do no good woman always on my mind.



Look at me and you can see I've seen my better days

Hoping for better times to come

Well, I never thought that love could drive a good man too insane

That do no good woman, Lord why you ever done girls...
