Mistreated Blues - Alberta Hunter, Fletcher Henderson

Now me and my daddy had a falling out

Just about a week ago today

And for almost nothing at all

He’s packed his and started away

I pleaded and begged to him, tears in my eyes

Trying to get him not to go

But he frankly told me to my face

That he didn’t want me anymore

On some of these days, and it won’t be long

He’s gonna wish for my love, and it’ll all be gone

I said some of these days, Lord, and it won’t be long

He’s gonna wish for my love, and it’ll all be gone

'Cause I love my daddy, I’ll tell the world I do

And it’s comin' a time when he’s gonna love me too

I said I love my Daddy, and I’ll tell the world I do

And it’s comin' a time when my daddy’s gonna love me too

But it’s my daddy’s turn now, mark what I say

Good luck and good fortune, and it’s bound to fall my way

I said it’s my daddy’s turn now, so just mark what I say

Good luck and good fortune, and it’s bound to fall my way

'Cause I treated that man better than a mother would

And if he don’t have me, it won’t do nobody else no good

I said I treated that man even better than a mother would

And if he don’t have me, it won’t do nobody else no good
