Hateful Blues

Lyrics

Woke up this morning
 Hateful and blue
 'Cause my daddy treated me wrong
 He's got his satchel packed
 His clothes upon his back, and gone
 Have days gone
 Yes, I'm low-down
 Nothing never worries me long
 I said, long
 I cried last night
 And I cried all nights before, like a fool
 And I said that I
 Ain't gonna cry no more, no more
 If he can stand to leave me
 I can stand to see him go
 I said, go
 Yes, I'm hateful
 Oh, he treats me so unkind
 If I find that man
 While murder's on my mind
 If I see him, I'm gon' beat him
 Gonna kick him and bite him too
 Gonna take my weddin' picture
 Gonna cut him through and through
 A ambulance is waiting
 Undertaker too
 'Cause to the doctors off him
 All kinda money for you
 Ain't gonna spare him, gon' keep him for myself
 Gonna follow him myself
 I'll keep this piggy there
 Ooh, my love has been abused
 Yeah, I got the, hateful blues
