Don't mistreat yo' woman 

When you know you're doin' wrong, yourself 

Don't mistreat yo' woman 

When you know you're doin' wrong, yourself 

She will try to make a fool outta you 

Go wild about somebody else 

Now, once had a good woman 

But you know I didn't treat her right 

Now, once had a good woman 

But you know I didn't treat her right 

An now she's gone an left me 

I have to sleep by myself at night 

Now, if you got a good woman 

You better always treat her right 

Now if you got a good woman 

You better always treat her right 

Because you know you'll miss her 

On some rainy night 

'Play that thing' 

(slide guitar) 

Now, if I ever get another good woman 

I'm gon' know how to treat her right 

Now, if I ever get another good woman 

I'm gon' know how to treat her right 

Because you know it's too lonesome 

To sleep by yo'self at night.
