Mean Old Man lyrics

Hey baby, I've found another

Don't you like it when I speak to your mother?

Hey crawlin' now I am cryin

Step aside, because babe, I'm flyin'

I'm mean and I ride to shoot

Strap on my guns, yeah, and whip on my boots

All that other, well, it's just for the news

'Cause I'm a mean, mean old mean

Well I'm a mean, mean old man

Oh, little girl, spent your life on the dress

Found yourself in a cute little mess

Boys come, yeah, then they go

Still there's something that I think you should know

Because I'm mean and I ride to shoot

Strap on my guns and pull on my boots

All that other, well it's just for the loot

'Cause I'm a mean, mean old man

Well, mean, mean old man

Oh...

Hey baby, I've found another

Don't you like it when I speak to your mother?

Hey crawlin' now and I am cryin'

Been this way now for some long time

Because I'm mean and I ride to shoot

Strap on my guns, yeah, whip on my boots

All that other, well it's just for the loot

'Cause I'm a mean

Mean, mean old man

Yeah, I'm a mean mean (Mean old man)

Well yeah mean (Mean old man)

Say say say mean (Mean old man)

I told ya now (Mean old man)

Oh you know (Mean old man)

Get down (Mean old man)

Well get down (Mean old man)

Woo! (Mean old man)
