Deceiving Man Blues lyrics

Try once, and you don`t succeed,
Try, try, once again,
I`ve tried so hard to love that deceiving man of mine,
But now I`m nearly to the end.
And I`m mournin` like a mournin` dove,
From now on, this is who I love:

I love my sister, I love my brother,
I love my father, I love my mother,
But deceiving man, your baby sure don`t love you!
I like everything about you, don`t like the way you do!

I`m broken-hearted, since we parted,
And I`m leavin` and I`m grievin`,
I wonder what in the world have you done to me.
I`m moanin` and I`m groanin`, weeping like a willow tree.

You call me honey, you take my money,
And acted funny,
And mistreated me!
You said if I didn`t like it, honey, what I could do.
Deceiving man, your baby is all through with you!

You cheated on me, you beated on me,
You treated me mean,
As you could.
Deceiving man, you don`t mean me no good.
You better watch your step; you too old to do the things you should.

I`m cryin`, you`ve been lyin`,
Said you loved me,
When I turned your head.
Said if I didn`t like it, I know what I could do.
I don`t wish you no bad luck, but I wish that you were dead!
