[Lyric] You Dont Mean Me No Good (Viola Bartlette)

[Verse]
Look here, Jim, you don't mean me no good
I'm through with you, and it's understood
You'd better find yourself another place
Because you're gonna lose your parkin' space
It's been a long time since you called me honey
And you never give me any money
I just want to get you straight
From now on, I've got another mate

[Chorus 1]
Baby, you don't mean me no good
If you did, you'd treat me like you should
You wouldn't leave me worried every day
I'd bring you home my weekly pay
No more trifling men for mine
You've [played/laid] around on me for your last time
You can take your shoes, even your hat and trunk
You can throw your own self in the junk
From now on, you've got to lay it on the [wood]
'Cause you don't mean me no good, mistreatin' papa
You don't mean me no good
[Chorus 2]
Daddy, you don't mean me no good
If you did, you'd treat me like you should
Now that old coat that you called a suit
When I first met you, you had a shoe and a boot
Now you're up and on your feet
And you want to put me out in the street
You've had your way in the past
But good things like that never last
From now on, brother, you've got to lay it on the [wood]
'Cause you don't mean me no good, mistreatin' papa
Oh, you don't mean me no good
