Don't you know there's a bad man coming?
Creeping down through the Spanish moss and trees
Rising up hear the black heart pounding
Through the dark as you drift gently in deep sleep
Oh here he comes by the light of the dull grey morn
Brave men talk but a brave man has no use
A hero's only a lucky fool, you see
And lately your luck has been as bad as bad can be
It seems like we've seen him come before
It seems like we've seen him go
And just when you think, that you've seen them all
Another bad man shows
Up killing what you adore
There's no telling what's in store
Just sit tight, there ain't nothin' you can do
Cuz tonight, tonight a bad man is coming for you
Yes, tonight, little darling, a bad man is coming for you
Yes, tonight, tonight, a bad man is coming for you
Creeping down through the Spanish moss and trees
Rising up hear the black heart pounding
Through the dark as you drift gently in deep sleep
Oh here he comes by the light of the dull grey morn
Brave men talk but a brave man has no use
A hero's only a lucky fool, you see
And lately your luck has been as bad as bad can be
It seems like we've seen him come before
It seems like we've seen him go
And just when you think, that you've seen them all
Another bad man shows
Up killing what you adore
There's no telling what's in store
Just sit tight, there ain't nothin' you can do
Cuz tonight, tonight a bad man is coming for you
Yes, tonight, little darling, a bad man is coming for you
Yes, tonight, tonight, a bad man is coming for you
