Right Hand Man Lyrics

Written by:

Johnny gave Susan a wedding band
Now she wears it on her left hand
I'm doing the best I can to forget
She used to call me her right hand man
Susan always knew I'm not marrying kind
But she said she would love me for all time
Said a wedding band just sparkles and shines
Be my right hand man and that'll be fine

A right hand man can be your lover

Carry the load when the wind blows cold
He can be replaced by another
Who's carrying the gold'

Susan made me think our love was real
There are times I believe her still
But Johnny walked in right out of left field
Put a right hand man in a left hand deal
A right hand man can be your lover
Carry the load when the wind blows cold
He can be replaced by another
Who's carrying the gold'

Carry no gold
A right hand man don't carry no gold
They say don't let your right hand know what your left hand's doing
Susan kept me in the dark for a long, long time
I had no idea that love's foundation was turning into ruin
Because being a right hand man was a dream of mine

A right hand man can be your lover
Carry the load when the wind blows cold
He can be replaced by another
Who's carrying the gold'

A right hand man can be your lover
Carry the load when the wind blows cold
He can be replaced by another
Who's carrying the gold'
A right hand man don't carry no gold
