Mama, Papa's got the blues
Yes, the kind of blues that's hard to lose
Just because you mistreated me
And you drove me from your door
Mama, you ain't heard the news
There's another mama in your shoes
You ain't even got a chance with me no more
So be on your P's and Q's
Mistreatin' mama
Mistreatin' papa all the time
Just because he wouldn't let you
Mistreatin' mama
Papa's crossed the danger line
If you cross it, I will get you
If you see me sittin' on another mama's knee
Don't bother me, I'm just as mean as can be
I'm like a butcher comin' down the street
I'll cut you all to pieces like a hoodoo piece of meat
Mistreatin' mama
I got a good mama now
Well, yeah, you just keep a-talkin' about
I'll grab you, honey, turn you wrong side out
Mistreatin' mama
I got a good mama now
