Mistreatin' Daddy (12-04-23) |
Daddy, mama’s got the blues |
The kind of blues that’s hard to lose ' |
Cause you mistreated me |
And drove me from your door |
Daddy, you ain’t heard the news |
There’s another papa in your shoes |
You ain’t even got a chance with me no more |
So be on your p’s and q’s |
Mistreating daddy, mistreating mama all the time |
Just because she wouldn’t let you |
Mistreating daddy, mama’s drawed the danger line |
Yes, you’ll cross it, I’ll get you |
If you see me setting on another daddy’s knee |
Don’t bother me, I’m as mean as can be |
I’m like the butcher right down the street |
I can cut you all apieces like I would a piece of meat |
Mistreating daddy, you used to knock your mama down |
When you knew I fell for you |
Had me so nervous, I would start dogging 'round |
Yes, every time I saw you |
But now I’ve got you off of my mind |
And found another daddy who’s just my kind |
Mistreating daddy, I’ve got another papa now |
I’ve got a tip for people talking about |
I will grab my daddy and turn him wrong side out |
Mistreating daddy, I’ve got a good papa now |
