I got a kind hearted woman
      do anything in this world for me
I got a kind hearted woman
      do anything in this world for me
But these evil-hearted women
      man, they will not let me be
I love my baby
      my baby don't love me
I love my baby, oooh
      my baby don't love me
But I really love that woman
      can't stand to leave her be
A-ain't but the one thing
      makes Mister Johnson drink
I's worried 'bout how you treat me, baby
      I begin to think
Oh babe, my life don't feel the same
You breaks my heart
      when you call Mister So-and So's name
(guitar solo)
She's a kinghearted woman
      she studies evil all the time
She's a kinghearted woman
      she studies evil all the time
You well's to kill the time
      as to have it on your mind
