Lyrics John Lee Hooker

John Lee Hooker

Backbiters And Syndicaters

Back biters and syndicators

Standing all around the door

Back biters and syndicators

Standing all around the door

An' it wished 'bout ev'ryday

Hopin' I'd go way to stay

Ooo-ooo-wee, ooo

Almost ruin my happy home

Ooo-wee-ooo

Almost ruin my happy home

I be glad when the day come

You leave these syndicators 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-a people

In any neighborhood

Back biters and syndicators

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

Back biters and the syndicator

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 mo'
