Mistreatin' Mama Lyrics

Furry Lewis Mistreatin' Mama

If your heart ain't iron : it must be marble stone
For you're a mistreating mama : baby as sure as you born

I can tell from a little : just what a whole lot means
You treat me just like : somebody you ain't never seen

I got a woman in Cuba : got a woman in Spain
I got a woman in Chicago : I'm scared to call her name

I got nineteen women : and all I wants one more
If the one more suit me : I'm going to let the nineteen
go

I could have religion : Lord this very day
But the womens and whiskey : Lord won't let me pray

I can sit right here : and look on Jackson Avenue
I can see everything : that my good woman do

Sometime I believe I will : sometime I believe I won't
Sometime I believe I do : sometime I believe I don't
