You're a mean mistreating mama : and you don't mean me no 
good
And I don't blame you baby : I'd be the same way if I 
could
You say you're going to leave me : well you say you going 
away
That's all right baby : maybe you'll come back home some 
day
Now you're a mean mistreater : and you mistreats me all 
the time
Now I tried to love you : swear but you won't pay that no 
mind
Can you remember mama : in the morning I knocked upon 
your door
You had the nerve to tell me : that you didn't want me no 
more
Ain't it lonesome : sleeping all by yourself
When the one that you love : is loving someone else
