It's Hard to be Mistreated

Memphis Minnie

Well, it's hard to me mistreated when you ain't done nothing wrong
Well, it's hard to me mistreated when you ain't done nothing wrong
And you caught your lover-man when you can't keep him at home

Now I'm going to get myself a single man and leave these merried mens alone
I'm going to get myself a single man and leave these merried mens alone
They ain't nothing but a wad of trouble when thay laying up in your arms

I need someone to love me, but someone to call my own
I need someone to love me, but someone to call my own
I'm tired of loving these merried men, can say I know their wives got them and gone

Well, I'm getting so tired staying home all by myself
I'm getting so tired staying home all by myself
And every men I fall in love with, he loving someone else

But I tried to be nice, tried to be nice and kind
I tried to be nice, tried to be nice and kind
But every man I love don't seem like he want to pay me no mind
