I'm a Bad, Bad Man

I'm honored, I'm flattered

This greeting really mattered

This welcome is grand

But I'm really concerned

I like your attention

But first I have to mention

You're playing with fire

And you're apt to get burned

There's a girl in Tennessee

Who's sorry she met up with me

Can't go back to Tennessee

I'm a bad, bad man

There's a girl in Omaha

But I ran faster than her pa

Can't go back to Omaha

I'm a bad, bad man

There's a girl in Wyoming

And they're combing Wyoming

To find that man in white

Who was out with her that night

There's a girl in Arkansas

The sheriff is her brother-in-law

Can't go back to Arkansas

I'm a bad, bad man

You are making too much fuss

But we don't give a tinker's cuss

We've been out, yes, each of us

With a bad, bad man

We've been chasing up and down

The other show has just left town

And the one who played the clown

Was a bad, bad man

I'm enlightened, but frightened

Though my interest you've heightened

It might turn out to be

That you're much too much for me

So I'll go back to my tent

And someday when you're old and bent

Think of hours you might have spent

With a bad, bad man
