I want to tell you ’bout that woman,
My used-to-be—
She was de meanest woman
I ever did see.
But she’s de only
Woman that could mistreat me!

She could make me holler like a sissie,
Bark like a dog.
She could chase me up a tree
And then cut down de log—
Cause she’s de only
Woman that could mistreat me.

She had long black hair,
Big black eyes,
Glory Hallelujah!
Forgive them lies!
She’s de only
Woman’s gonna mistreat me.

I got her in Mississippi.
Took her to Alabam’.
When she left
I said, Go, hot damn!
You de last and only
Woman’s gonna mistreat me.

Wake
In a Troubled Key
