You Ought to Be Ashamed

Lyrics

You'll be sorry, daddy
 You just wait and see
 Daddy, wait and see
 Wouldn't treat a dog
 The way you treatin' me
 Like you treatin' me
 I'm a total nervous wreck
 With a millstone 'round my neck
 I'm as blue as any gal can be
 Don't be surprised if you see me hanging from a tree
 Hangin' from a tree
 You ought to be ashamed, ashamed, ashamed
 Ashamed of what you've done to me
 But, daddy, I'm to blame, I'm to blame
 For lettin' you have my company
 I'm a poor, weak vessel and I just can't help myself
 And, daddy, when you quit me, I can't crawl up on no shelf
 But you ought to be ashamed, ashamed, ashamed
 Ashamed of how you treatin' me
 You ought to be ashamed, ashamed, ashamed
 Ashamed of what you've done to me
 But, daddy, I'm the same
 Yes, the same
 You will find that I will always be
 You can dodge me and neglect me
 Treat me like a hound
 I'll be here waiting for you
 When you're tired of runnin' 'round
 But you ought to be ashamed, ashamed, ashamed
 Ashamed of how you treatin' me
