(Harlan Howard)

You say I need the rest
Why don't I go and see my sister way out west
That's very thoughtful of you dear
And I'm really touched by all your tenderness.

But us women are suspicious things
We know that men aren't born with wings
What's makin' you so kind?
Now I'm not smart but I'm not blind.

I think that you've got evil on your mind
You think that you've been good about as long
As mush as art bloomed human could
We've been together for so long.

I know another pasture's a looking good
Don't think that other men don't look at me
That certain way from time to time
Don't think you're the only one
That must countend with evil on your mind

Your mind is in the hare man
Surrounded by exotic dancin' girls
You're hearin' pretty music as they run
Their slender fingers through your curles
Ah dream on baby.

I thank you for the flowers and the candy honey
That was a very kind
For that's your way of tellin' me
You're sorry for the evil on your mind...
