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
