Papa Tree Top Blues

That's all right baby, treat me mean if you can [Repeat: x 2]
I'll quit you daddy and get myself another man

Tell me papa Tree Top, what you tryin' to do to me? [Repeat: x 2]
You buggin' my nerves, I can't stand this misery

You give me plenty money, don't give me no lovin' at all [Repeat: x 2]
The green is keen but there's no mule in my stall

I cleaned your house and I clean your stable too [Repeat: x 2]
I'll clean my mind of any good thoughts of you

The Lord made Adam, that's the story I've been told
He'll find a good man to satisfy my soul

I'm gonna buy you a ticket to a town in Timbuktu [Repeat: x 2]
It might cost me money but I can't stand the way you do
