No Good Rider

by Lead Belly

Lyrics
She take me to her house, she call me honey
I thought she loved me, but she just after my little money

She's a no-good rider, ooh, she ain't no good
She got drunk this morning, drunk up my neighbors

I don't mean to scold, I wanna get you told
Look out here gal, God snatch your old bad luck soul

You is a no-good rider, ooh, you ain't a pretty girl
You got drunk this morning, drunk up my neighbors

First time I met you, cried for a nickel or dime
Tell you to cook my breakfast, you swore you ain't got time

You is a no-good rider, ooh, you ain't a pretty girl
You got drunk this morning, drunk up my neighbors

You come down here crying, 'bout your times is hard
Get away from here, gal, you better put your trust in God

You is a no-good rider, ooh, you ain't a pretty girl
You got drunk this morning, drunk up my neighbors

When you kill that old rusty rooster and save me the head
You think some workin' when I'm lyin' down in my bed

You is a no-good rider, ooh, you ain't no good
You got drunk this morning, drunk up my neighbors
