John Lee Hooker Backbiters And Syndicaters Lyrics

Backbiters And Syndicaters Lyrics

Backbiters and syndicaters

Standing all around the door

Backbiters and syndicaters

Standing all around the door



An it wished 'bout everyday

Hopin' I'd go way to stay



Almost ruin my happy home

Almost ruin my happy home



I be glad when the day come

You leave these syndicaters 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 of people

In any neighborhood



Backbiters and syndicaters

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

Back biters and the syndicaters

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 more
