He's a Good Man to Have Around

He's not good-looking, not handsome or tall

I couldn't tell you how he made me fall

He's good for nothin', but still and all

He's a good man to have around

You might not like him, he's nothin' to show

Not much on manners

And he hasn't got dough

He's good for nothin', but still I know

He's a good man to have around

Don't ask if he's a gentle man

He's the worst to be found

But when it comes to makin' love

He knows his way around

Now after supper, I look and he's gone

I hear him sneak in along about dawn

I don't say nothin', 'cause from then on

Hey, he's a good man to have around

He's not a scholar, got no brains in his head

And sometimes he don't bother

To bring home the bread

He's a guy that I want

And he's the bible I read

Why he's a good man

And I'm gonna have him around
