Intro: B B B

B [(add](this[1/2] time [B)]only) E7 E7 B B B

If I mistreat you girl, I sure dont mean no harm

If I mistreat you girl, I sure dont mean no harm

Well Im a motherless child who dont know right from wrong.

Please tell me pretty mama, honey whered you stay last night

Please tell me pretty mama, honey whered you stay last night

Well you didnt come home til the sun was shining bright.

I have to go so far gal, get my ham bones boiled

I have to go so far gal, get my ham bones boiled

Well these other lotta women gonna let my ham bones burn.

Now I did more for you gal, than your daddy ever done

Now I did more for you gal, than your daddy ever done

Well I give you my jelly, he aint give you none.

And when you see two women always runnin hand in hand

And you see two women always running hand in hand

You can bet your bottom dollar one

Well Im goin to the river get me a tangled rocking chair

Im goin to the river get me a tangled rocking chair

And if the blues overtake me gonna rock away from there
