A Good Man Is Hard to Find



[Verse]
 * My heart's sad and I am all forlorn,
 * My man's treating me mean,
 * I regret the day that I was born,
 * And that man of mine I've ever seen,
 * My happiness it never lasts a day,
 * My heart is almost breaking while I say:

[Chorus]
 * A good man is hard to find,
 * You always get the other kind,
 * Just when you think that he is your pal
 * You look for him and find him fooling 'round some other gal,


 * Then you rave, you even crave
 * To see hem laying in his grave;
 * So if your man is nice
 * Take my advice


 * And hug him in the morning
 * Kiss him every night,
 * Give him plenty lovin', treat him right
 * For a good man nowadays is hard to find.

[Verse]
 * Yesterday my heart from care was free,
 * I sang all through the day,
 * Now the Blues have overtaken me,
 * Since my lovin' man has gone away,
 * I tried my best to treat him nice and kind,
 * But now these words are running thro' my mind:
