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
