Lightnin' Hopkins — Don't Treat That Man The Way You Treat Me lyrics

Lyrics

When you and your man get so you can’t get along
You come for Lightnin' singing this song
When you and your man get so you can’t get along
You come to poor Lightnin' singing your song
You be telling me about your troubles
Baby your troubles ain’t gonna last that long
You better be careful and don’t treat that man
The dirty way like you treated me You better be careful and don’t treat that man
The dirty way like you treated me One day someone’s gonna do you
The same way and you will see
You and dat daddy must be Poor mama’s bad luck child
You and dat daddy must be Poor mother’s bad luck child
'Cause and you know the more I do to please a woman
That’s the worst of luck I have
