Came home last night, feelin' sad and blue
My baby done gone, I didn't know what to do
She's a dirty mistreater, don't you know
She's a dirty mistreater, don't you know
She's a dirty mistreater, and she don't mean a man no good

Work hard for her, every day
She took my money and throwed it away
She's a dirty mistreater, don't you know
She's a dirty mistreater, don't you know
She's a dirty mistreater, and she don't mean a man no good

I cooked her breakfast, carried it to her bed
I took my comb and combed her head
She's a dirty mistreater, don't you know
She's a dirty mistreater, don't you know
She's a dirty mistreater, and she don't mean a man no good

Well, I give her my money, bought her fine, nice clothes
If I find her, I bust her right in her nose
She's a dirty mistreater, don't you know
She's a dirty mistreater, don't you know
She's a dirty mistreater, and she don't mean a man no good

I done sung this song, I didn't tell no lie
The day I found her, that's the day she died
She's a dirty mistreater, don't you know
She's a dirty mistreater, don't you know
She's a dirty mistreater, and she don't mean a man no good
