I hate a man like you
Don’t like the things you do
When I met you, I thought you was right
You married me and stayed out the first night
Do you think you treatin’ your wife right
Lord, I hate a man like you

I hate a man like you
Don’t like the things you do
Just like a woman, you're always carry tales
Tryin’ to make trouble, wanna get me in jail
Then you can’t find no one to go my bail
Lord, I hate a man like you

I hate a man like you
Don’t like the things you do
Walkin’ ‘round with a switch and a rock
Shootin’ dice, always playin’ cards
While I bring a pint from the white folks’ yard
Lord, I hate a man like you

I hate a man like you
Can’t stand the things you do
Eatin’ and drinkin’, sittin’ at the inn
Grinnin’ in my face and winkin’ at my friends
When my back is turned you’re like a rooster at a hen
Lord, I hate a man like you
Lord, I hate a man like you
