Lyrics Mean Mistreater Mama - Scrapper Blackwell , Leroy Carr

You're a mean mistreating mama and you don't mean me no good
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
Now you say you're going to leave me and 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 you're a mean mistreater and you mistreats me all the time
I tried to love you baby 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
Can you remember baby when 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
Ain't it lonesome sleeping by yourself?
When the one that you love baby is loving someone else
