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

Take a woman’s man

Cause her to love some other man
