Dirty Mistreater-Willie Lofton
Dropped-D tuning

Cryin', I give you my money, mama, when you was all out and down
Soon as you got up on your foot, Good God, mama, you wouldn't even allow me 'round
REFRAIN: Cryin', dirty mistreater, Lord have mercy, mistreat me all the time
Cryin', dirty mistreater, mistreat the poor boy all the time

SOLO

Cryin', dirty mistreater, mistreat me all the time

Cryin', I was layin' down on my sickbed, layin' at the point of death
Here come the dirty mistreater, Good God, mama, tryin' to start some mess
REFRAIN: Cryin', dirty mistreater, Lord have mercy, ah, mistreat me all the time
Cryin', dirty mistreater, mistreat the poor boy all the time

SPOKEN, during solo: Play it, boy! Yay, don't blame me, boys, I'm gonna make G below the hole!

Cryin', dirty mistreater, mistreat the poor boy all the time

Cryin', you remember the mornin', I knocked up on your door
You said, "Go away, you dirty skunk, Good God, Mama don't want you no more."
REFRAIN: Cryin', dirty mistreater, Lord have mercy, mistreat me all the time
Cryin', dirty mistreater, mistreat the poor boy all the time

Cryin', Lord have mercy on my wicked soul
Says, I wouldn't get in trouble now, Good God, mama, to save no black woman's soul
REFRAIN: Cryin', dirty mistreater, mistreat me all the time
Cryin', dirty mistreater, mistreat the poor boy all the time
