Mean and Evil Blues

Mean and Evil Blues - Dinah Washington

Now I'm mean and evil

Don't you mess around with me

Yes I'm mean and evil

Don't you mess around with me

'Cause I'll mess you up with a dozen sticks of TNT

Now I'm mean and evil

Even rain don't fall on me

Yes I'm mean and evil

Even rain don't fall on me

And I'm gonna stay that way till I find a man that's

Meaner than me

First thing each mornin'

I breaks me a lookin' glass

Then I goes out on the corner

Waits for a black cat to pass

Can't sleep while there's a howlin' dog 'neath

My window each night

And nothin' sends me like a good bloody fight

Yes I'm mean and evil

But you no-good men made me that way

Yes I'm so mean and evil

I may my dad cry

Yes I'm so mean and evil

I may my dad cry

And I'm gonna stay that way

Until the day I die

That the way any bloody
