I Want a Good Man, And I Want Him Bad - Annette Hanshaw

Gee I’m awful lonesome,

I need company,

'Cause I’ve turned my sweetie down,

For he’s been cheatin' on me

Now I’m by my ownsome,

An' I’m thinkin’of;

I’m just lookin' round for a new sweetie,

I want somebody to love

Won’t somebody hear my plea?

I’ll be sweet as I can see

I wanna good man,

And I want him bad

If you crave endearing charms,

I can fill your empty arms

I wanna good man,

And I want him bad

To take a chance

In love’s romance,

Now that’s right where I shine

For love indeed

Is what I need,

Affection is my line

In my plea, for goodness sake,

Won’t someone give me a break?

I wanna good man,

And I want him bad

If you’re poor or if you’re rich,

Strong or weak, I don’t care which

I love to have a good man,

And I need him so bad

If you’re hot or if you’re cold,

I don’t care if you’re young or old,

I’d even take one ninety three,

But I want him so bad

Now look at me;

you will see

I’m very very real!

Don’t have the dough

Of Sarah Bow,

But lots more neck appeal

Now’s your chance, men, hear me say,

«This may be your lucky day!».

I wanna good man,

And I want him bad

Say, I still own

A country home,

'Way from noise and fuss;

A little love nest,

A place to rest,

The rest is up to us

Here I am, make up your mind,

Girls like me are hard to find

I wanna good man,

And I want him so bad
