Hateful Blues by Edmonia Henderson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin' all hateful and blue
'Cause my baby treats me wrong
He's got his satchel packed, clothes upon his back, and gone
Yes, I'm low-down, nothin' worries me long
I cried last night and all the night before
Just like I didn't have a bit of sense at all
But I will tell you folks that I ain't gonna cry no more
If he can stand to leave his mama, I can stand to see him go

[Verse 2]
The day that's gone will never come again, just wait and see
The day that's gone will never come again
Then he will know his mama was his only friend

[Chorus]
Now I'm hateful 'cause he treats me so unkind
If I find that man while murder's on my mind
If I see him, I will beat him
Gonna choke and bite him too
I'll take my lonesome razor
Cut him through and through
The ambulance is waiting, the undertaker too
To take him to the graveyard after I'm through
I got a .44 dungeon, gonna buy a Gatling gun
If I see him, I will kill him, so there ain't no use to run
'Cause my love has been abused
Now I've got the hateful blues
