A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O'Connor: "Shut up, Bobby Lee" The Misfit said. "It's no real pleasure in life."
The lord made a pretty man when he made me
The lord made a pretty man when he made me
He gave me eyes like the silver clouds
And a mug to make any mother proud
And any father say son you’re our greatest treasure
But I gotta tell you daddy that there ain’t no real pleasure
The lord made a pretty man oh yes he did
The lord made a pretty man when he made this kid
He gave me soul like the ocean deep
And a voice to make any woman weep
And a kiss by which all others must be measured
But I gotta tell you baby that there ain’t no real pleasure
I’m crawling out on my hands and knees
I’m crawling out baby can you help me please
He gave me soul like the ocean deep And a voice to make any woman weep And a kiss by which all others must be measured But I gotta tell you baby that there ain’t no real pleasure
