Bad Treated Blues

Bad Treated Blues-William Harris
William Harris, vocal and guitar in E position, standard tuning

That old girl of mine, keeps me worried and bothered all the time
That's the reason I's tried to, get along with you

You pawned my pistol, and you pawned my clothes
That's the reason I'm tryin' to, get along with you

You's a dirty mistreater, you don't treat nobody right
You's a dirty mistreater, don't treat nobody right

Say you pawned my diamonds, and you pawned my clothes
I was tryin' to get along with that girl of mine

I'm gonna leave you, mama, and I ain't gonna say good-bye
But I'm gonna write you and tell you, reason why

I'm gonna tell you, tell you, mama, what a dago told a jew
"You don't want me, woman, what you think I want with you?"

'Cause you's a dirty mistreater, you don't treat nobody right
You's a dirty mistreater, you don't treat nobody right

I'm gonna leave you, mama, and I ain't gonna say good-bye
But I'm gonna write and tell you, mama, the reason why

You's a dirty mistreater, don't treat nobody right
You's a dirty mistreater, you don't treat nobody right

Say, you're long and tall, say you shaped like a cannonball
You're long and tall and you shaped like a cannonball

But you's a dirty mistreater, you don't treat nobody right
You's a dirty mistreater, you don't treat nobody right

Say, you're dirty, you're dirty, say you're dirty mistreater, yeah
You's a dirty mistreater, you don't treat nobody right

I give you, all my money, and yet you pawned my clothes
You's a dirty mistreater, you don't treat nobody right
