Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1899 – June 16, 1970) was an American blues and jazz singer/guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the role of jazz guitar and is recognized as the first to play single-string guitar solos.

Now we all have faults, we all know right from wrong.
We all have faults, we all know right from wrong.
But I don't give no man credit, for breakin' up a good man's home.

We all fall for drinkin' an' gamblin', an' stayin' out all night long.
Some will fuss an' they'll fight, they just can't get along.
But I'm not with you when it comes, to breakin' up a good man's home.

You will stand around the corner, braggin' how you taken your best friends wife.
You will stand around the corner, braggin' how you taken your best friends wife.
And he asked you about it, why did you take his life?

Now the time is comin', that she will leave you for some other man.
Now the time is comin', she will leave you for some other man.
You love to take a man's life, but when your time comes you ain't man enough to stand.

You even drink with him at his table, you stayed all night in his home.
Even trust you with his wife, he left you all alone.
And how could you call yourself a friend, to break up a good man's home?

You thought you wanted a good woman, because you was all by yourself.
You thought you wanted a good woman, because you was all by yourself.
After you broke up her happy home, now you chasin' after someone else.
