Jean Shepard - Root Of All Evil (is A Man) lyrics

rate me

You've heard that old story ever since time began that money is root of all evil

Well let me tell you mine it's much older than time for the root of all evil is a man

They'll tell you that they love you and will until they die

But you'll find them out with someone else before a tear come alive and it's dry

So girls take my advice think it over once or twice for the root of all evil is a man

[ steel ]

Sure there's honky tonk girls but before you condemn

And look at her with storm in your eyes

Hive her just a friendly smile hear her troubles for a while

For the cause of her trouble was a man

They'll tell you that they love you...
