The Yardbirds - MR. YOU'RE A BETTER MAN THAN I lyrics

Can you judge a man

By the way he wears his hair?

Can you read his mind

By the clothes that he wears?

Can you see a bad man

By the pattern on his tie?

Chorus:

Then Mister you're a better man than I

Yeah Mister You're a better man than I

Oh Mister You're a better man than I

Yeah Mister You're a better man than I

Could you tell a wise man

By the way he speaks or spells?

Is this more important

Than the stories that he tells?

And call a man a fool

If for wealth he doesn't strive

Chorus:

Then Mister you're a better man than I

Yeah Mister You're a better man than I

Oh Mister You're a better man than I

Yeah Mister You're a better man than I

Could you condemn a man

If your faith he doesn't hold?

Say the colour of his skin

Is the colour of his soul?

Or could you say if men

For king and country all must die?

Chorus

Then Mister you're a better man than I

Yeah You're a better man than I

Oh Mister You're a better man than I

Yeah Mister You're a better man than I
