Mistreatin Daddy by Edna Hicks Lyrics

[Verse]
Daddy, mama's got the blues
The kind of blues that’s hard to lose
'Cause you mistreated me
With cruel, cold abuse
Daddy, ain't you heard the news
There's another papa in your shoes
You ain't even got a chance with mama no more
So be on your Ps and Qs

[Chorus]
Mistreatin' daddy, mistreatin' mama all the time
Just because she would let you
Mistreatin' daddy, mama's drawed a danger line
If you cross it, I'll get you
If you see me sittin' on another daddy's knee
Don't you interrupt me 'cause I'm as mean as I can be
I'm like a butcher right down the street
I could chop you all to pieces like you was a piece of meat
Mistreatin' daddy, you used to knock your mama down
Then I even fell for you
Had me so nervous I would start to duckin' 'round
Yes, every time I saw you
But now I've got you off of my mind
And found another daddy who is just my kind
Mistreatin' daddy, I've got another papa now
[Outro]
You nearly caused my heart to break
And now I'd soon as see you as a rattlesnake
Mistreatin' daddy, I've got another papa now
And he's mistreatin' me too
Daddy, like you used to do
