If I mistreat you girl, I sure dont mean no harm
If I mistreat you girl, I sure dont mean no harm
Well Im a motherless child who dont know right from wrong.
Please tell me pretty mama, honey whered you stay last night
Please tell me pretty mama, honey whered you stay last night
Well you didnt come home til the sun was shining bright.
I have to go so far gal, get my ham bones boiled
I have to go so far gal, get my ham bones boiled
Well these other lotta women gonna let my ham bones burn.
Now I did more for you gal, than your daddy ever done
Now I did more for you gal, than your daddy ever done
Well I give you my jelly, he aint give you none.
And when you see two women always runnin hand in hand
And you see two women always running hand in hand
You can bet your bottom dollar one
Well Im goin to the river get me a tangled rocking chair
Im goin to the river get me a tangled rocking chair
And if the blues overtake me gonna rock away from there
