Elmore James
Mean Mistreatin’ Mama

[Verse 1]
You're a mean mistreatin' mama
Mistreat me all the time
You're a mean mistreatin' mama
And you mistreat me all the time
I tried to tell you how much I loved you
But you would't pay that no mind

[Verse 2]
Now can't you remember baby
When I knocked upon your door
Can't you remember baby
When I knocked upon your door
You had the nerve to tell me
That you didn't want me no more

[Verse 3]
One of these mornings and it won't be very long
You'll look for me and I'll be long gone
One of these mornings and it won't be very long
You'll gonna look for me baby and your daddy will be long gone

[Verse 4]
Ain't it lonesome sleeping by yourself
When the woman you love is lovin' someone else
Ain't it lonesome, baby, sleeping by yourself
When the woman you love is lovin' someone else
