You Can’t Mistreat Me Songtext
von Tommy McClennan

Now, you can mistreat me, here
But you can′t when I go home
You can mistreat me, here
But you can't when I go home
′Cause I got someone there
Will really make you leave me alone

Now, I give you all my money, baby
What mo' can a po' man do?
Give you all my money
Hoo-ooo!
What mo′ can a po′ man do?
You's a sweet little girl
Baby, but you won′t be true


Now, I done tol' you once, now baby
Now, don′t have to tell you no mo'
(Take your time now, play it right
For you over in Chicago)
I done tol′ you
I don't wanna tell you no mo'
You can get all a-my lovin′
If you let that black man go

Umm-mmm-mm, mmm-mmm-mmmm

Now, my mama tol′ me
An my papa start in cryin'
My mama tol′ me
And my papa he startin' cry
Said, ′Son, you're too young a-man
To have them many womens yourself′

I looked at my mama an papa, now
Now, an I never cracked a smile
Looked at my mama an papa
An I never cracked a smile
I said,'The little woman I got kill me
Mama, Lord, I don't mind dyin′

Dee-da, be-ba, ba-ba-ba,
