Sweet Mistreater - Bessie Smith
He was a Jack from Jacksonville
She was a Lou from Louisville
For his highbrow gal he fell
Like old p**sy in the well
She used to vamp him now and then
Then run around with other men
So on the telephone
Every night he'd call and moan;
Oh you mistreater
Oh you lowdown cheater
No one can be so sweet when you are loving you
But when you strut your lizzie
And you knock them dizzy
When you mess around and cheat the way you do
When you are out there lowdown
You as smart as can be
But how come you so dumb
When you easing home to me
Oh you lowdown cheater
Oh you red-hot mistreater
Oh sweet mistreater don't mistreat me so
Oh you mistreater
Oh you dirty mistreater
No one can be so sweeter
When you are loving you
Oh you look so willing
But this way it is killing
Tell me how come you save it the way you do
Yea you wring and you twist
And you can't leave soon enough
And then someone insists
They will letb you do your stuff
Oh tell Saint Peter
You a no-good cheater
Oh sweet mistreater don't mistreat me so
