Lyrics Mistreated Blues - Alberta Hunter, Fletcher Henderson

Mistreated Blues

Now me and my daddy had a falling out
Just about a week ago today
And for almost nothing at all
He’s packed his and started away
I pleaded and begged to him, tears in my eyes
Trying to get him not to go
But he frankly told me to my face
That he didn’t want me anymore
On some of these days, and it won’t be long
He’s gonna wish for my love, and it’ll all be gone
I said some of these days, Lord, and it won’t be long
He’s gonna wish for my love, and it’ll all be gone
'Cause I love my daddy, I’ll tell the world I do
And it’s comin' a time when he’s gonna love me too
I said I love my Daddy, and I’ll tell the world I do
And it’s comin' a time when my daddy’s gonna love me too
But it’s my daddy’s turn now, mark what I say
Good luck and good fortune, and it’s bound to fall my way
I said it’s my daddy’s turn now, so just mark what I say
Good luck and good fortune, and it’s bound to fall my way
'Cause I treated that man better than a mother would
And if he don’t have me, it won’t do nobody else no good
I said I treated that man even better than a mother would
And if he don’t have me, it won’t do nobody else no good
