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
