My baby treat me so mean

I don’t know right from wrong

My baby treat me so mean

I don’t know right from wrong

I’m here, today

But tomorrow I may be gone

I had so much trouble

Until I don’t know what to do

I had so much trouble

Until I don’t know what to do

The way you treat me, baby

Is comin' home to you

Because I’m dogged around

Baby, and drivin' from do' to do'

Yeah-ay

Baby, an driven from do' to do'

But I raise my hand

I won’t be dogged no mo'

'Now boy, let’s get this thing'

(slow piano boogie & guitar)

So good-bye, baby

Yes, I’m leavin', now

So, bye-bye, baby

Babe, I’m leavin' now

Because you done me

Me, no good, now how
