John Lee Hooker - Backbiters And Syndicaters lyrics

rate me

Backbiters and syndicaters

Standing all around the door

Backbiters and syndicaters

Standing all around the door

An it wished 'bout everyday

Hopin' I'd go way to stay

Almost ruin my happy home

Almost ruin my happy home

I be glad when the day come

You leave these syndicaters alone

I can't understand, little girl

That they don't mean you no good

I can't understand, little girl

That you don't know they don't mean you no good

You'll find these kind of people

In any neighborhood

Backbiters and syndicaters

Can't you see 'em standin' 'round the do'?

Back biters and the syndicaters

Can't you see 'em standin' 'round the do'?

I'm gonna move on down the line

I don't have to be bothered no more
