It's Hard to Be Mistreated Songtext
von Memphis Minnie

Well, it′s hard to be mistreated when you ain't done nothin′ wrong
Well, it's hard to be mistreated when you ain't done nothin′ wrong
And it′s hard to love a man when you can't keep him at home

Now I′m gonna get myself a single man
And leave these married mens alone
I'm gonna get myself a single man and leave these married mens alone
They ain′t nothin' but a wad of trouble
When they′re layin' up in your home


I need someone to love me, but someone to call my own
I need someone to love me, but someone to call my own
I'm tired of lovin′ these married men
Next thing I know, they wives got ′em and gone

Well, I'm gettin′ so tired of stayin' home all the time by myself
Well, I′m gettin' so tired of stayin′ home all the time by myself
And every man I fall in love with, he lovin' someone else

Well, I try to be nice, try to be nice and kind
Well, I try to be nice, I try to be nice and kind
But every man I love don't feel like he wanna pay me no mind
