| Lyrics: | If I mistreat you girl, I sure don't mean no harm.
If I mistreat you girl, I sure don't mean no
harm.
Well, I'm a motherless child; I don't know right from wrong.
Please tell me
pretty mama, honey where'd you stay last night?
Please tell me pretty mama, honey where'd you
stay last night?
Well, you didn't come home till the sun was shining bright.
I had
to go so far girl to get my ham bones boiled.
Had to go so far girl to get my ham bones
boiled.
Well, he's had a lotta women, gonna let my ham bones burn.
Well, I did more
for you, girl, than your daddy ever done.
Well, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever
done.
Well, I give you my jelly, he ain't give you none.
And when you see two women,
always running hand in hand.
When you see two women, always running hand in hand.
You can
bet your bottom dollar, one got the other one's man.
Lord, I'm going to the river, get me
a tangled rocking chair.
I'm going to the river, get me a tangled rocking chair.
And if
the blues overtake me, gonna rock away from here |
