Lord, I been mistreated so long, I don't know how to act sometime
I been mistreated so long I don't know how to act sometimes
You midnight women don't know how to treat no man

You been dealin' with the Devil, you better leave that man alone
You been dealin' with the Devil, you better leave, eee, that man alone
You gonna wake up some morning, baby, you gonna find yourself outdoors

Mama,mama, mama, please talk to your daughter for me
Oh Mama, mama, please talk to your daughter one time for me
You don't know that woman, no, she don't pay poor Bob no mind

I'm goin' to the hoodoo, I'm gon' put you under my feet (2)
I'm gonna have you, baby, do anything in the world I want you to do
