District Attorney sho' is hard on a man

He will take a woman’s man and leave her cold in hand

District Attorney sho' is hard on a man

He will take a woman’s man and leave her cold in hand

A District Attorney sho' is hard on a man

He has caused a many mens to

Be in some distant land

District Attorney sho' is hard on a man

He have caused so many women to be cold in hand

A District Attorney sho' is hard on a man

Ain’t no woman but he sho' will take a woman’s man

District Attorney sho' is hard on a man

He will take a woman man and leave her cold in hand

A District Attorney sho' is hard on a man

He can tell us a-where when he gonna

Take a woman’s man

District Attorney sho' is hard on a man

Well, he will take a woman’s man and leave her cold in hand

A District Attorney sho' is hard on a man

He taken me from my woman

Cause her to love some other man

District Attorney sho' is hard on a man

He will take a woman’s man and leave her cold in hand
