Back Biters and Syndicaters

John Lee Hooker, Al Smith

[Verse 1]
Backbiters and syndicators
Standing all around the door
Backbiters and syndicators
Standing all around the door
And it whispered everyday
Hopin' I'd go way to stay

[Chorus]
Oooh, weee
Oooh, weee
Almost ruin my happy home
Oooh, weee
Oooh, weee
Almost ruin my happy home
I be glad when the day come
You leave these syndicators alone

[Verse 2]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Backbiters and syndicators
Can't you see 'em standin' 'round the door?
Back biters and the syndicators
Can't you see 'em standin' 'round the door?
I'm gonna move on down the line
I don't have to be bothered no more

[Instrumental Outro]
