HE'S NO GOOD

He came to ask for Daddy’s blessing
And my Daddy told him no
I walked in begging and crying
Said I love him don’t you know
                         He said
                                     Baby 
                                              He’s
                                                     No
                                                          Good
He’s worse than dirt under my horses hooves

I didn’t listen to my Daddy
I ran off and married him
Found I’d jumped into a river
Too impossible to swim

Oh I came to know him like a flood
That will drown you nice and slow 
You can’t get air, yield in despair
And you have no place to go
                       He said 
                                    Baby 
                                             He’s 
                                                     No 
                                                          Good
He’s worse than dirt under my horses hooves

Swallowed my pride, and called my Daddy
Cried and asked can I come home
He said baby I’ve been waiting 
Every night here by the phone

Daddy didn't say “I told you so”
He just held me while I cried
He didn’t comment on the bruises
Desperation in my eyes
                    He said
                                   Baby
                                              He’s
                                                        No
                                                               Good
He’s worse than dirt under my horses hooves

It didn’t take him long to find me
Daddy said go to your room
Seems I’ve got me a trespasser
I’ll be back to check on you

I didn’t ask a single question
When my Daddy finally showed
And the fact did not escape me
That he had returned alone
                     He said 
                                   Baby 
                                              All
                                                     Is 
                                                           Good
He’s now the dirt under my horses hooves………..
