Mama, He Treat You Daughter Mean - Ruth Brown

Mama, he treats your daughter mean

Mama, he treats your daughter mean

Mama, he treats your daughter mean

He’s the meanest man I’ve ever seen

Mama, he treats me badly

Makes me love him madly

Mama, he takes my money

Makes me call him honey

Mama, he can’t be trusted

Makes me so disgusted

All of my friends say they don’t understand

What’s the matter with this man

I tell you Mama, he treats your daughter mean

Mama, he treats your daughter mean

Mama, he treats your daughter mean

He’s the mean, meanest man I’ve ever seen

Mama, this man is lazy

Almost drives me crazy

Mama, he makes me squeeze him

Still my squeeze don’t please him

Mama, my heart is aching

I believe it’s breaking

Mama, I’ve stood through all that, I can stand

What’s the matter with this man?

I tell you Mama, he treats your daughter mean

Mama, he treats your daughter mean

Mama, he treats your daughter mean

He’s the mean, meanest man I’ve ever seen
