District Attorney sho' is hard on a man 

He will take a woman's man and leave her cold in hand 

District Attorney sho' is hard on a man 

He will take a woman's man and leave her cold in hand 

A District Attorney sho' is hard on a man 

He has caused a many mens to 

Be in some distant land 

District Attorney sho' is hard on a man 

He have caused so many women to be cold in hand 

A District Attorney sho' is hard on a man 

Ain't no woman but he sho' will take a woman's man 

District Attorney sho' is hard on a man 

He will take a woman man and leave her cold in hand 

A District Attorney sho' is hard on a man 

He can tell us a-where when he gonna 

Take a woman's man 

District Attorney sho' is hard on a man 

Well, he will take a woman's man and leave her cold in hand 

A District Attorney sho' is hard on a man 

He taken me from my woman 

Cause her to love some other man 

District Attorney sho' is hard on a man 

He will take a woman's man and leave her cold in hand.
