A good man is hard to find
What’s his is yours and mine to throw, oh
He had an angry head
He had a heavy heart to hold

Poison in the spring
With an orchid in his hand
And a shadow on his thumb
In the barrel of a gun
Me, I will find my love

Oh, oh - Lord knows where did he go
Keeper of my heart’s joy, maker of my sorrow
Oh, oh - Lord knows where did he go
Keeper of my heart’s joy, maker of my sorrow

A good man is hard to find
God knows how I have tried repose, oh
Give me my aching head
Give me my broken heart and cold a woman cannot hold

With a diamond on my hand
And the water on my tongue
In the barrel of a gun
Me, I resign my love
Oh, oh - Lord knows where did he go
Keeper of my heart’s joy, maker of my sorrow
Oh, oh - Lord knows where did he go
Keeper of my heart’s joy, maker of my sorrow

Dealer of my heavy hand
Healer of my wounded heart
Lord knows where did he go
Lord knows where did he go
Lord knows where did he go
Lord knows where did he go
Lord knows where did he go
