Mistreatin Daddy Blues by Ida Cox Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Honey dear, listen here
I'm getting tired of you
[?]
That I don't like the way you do
You stay out every night until morn
Then you sing me that same [?] song
But if you don't stop fooling
Here's what I'm going to do

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna buy me a ticket long as I am tall
I'm gonna buy me a ticket long as I am tall
I'm gonna leave you, daddy, and I ain't trying to stall

[Verse 2]
'Cause I don't want no man, Lord, that don't want me
'Cause I don't want no man, Lord, that don't want me
You keep me [bowed/bogged?] down in trouble, worried as can be

[Verse 3]
I've seen rich men, poor men, I find them all the same
I have seen rich men, poor men, I find them all thе same
They'll all treat you dirty, but thе woman has to bear the blame
[Verse 4]
I'm a poor lonesome girl, but I'm good as I can be
I'm a poor lonesome girl, but I'm as good as I can be
Don't mistreat nobody, don't want nobody that mistreats me
