I mistreated my baby, I can't see no reason why

D                                     C                  G 
Every time I thinks about it, I just wring my hands and cry 
 

                                                                   G7 
Would the good old baby apologise or would she sympathise with me? 
          C                                                    G   G7

She's a brownskin woman, just as sweet as a girl friend can be

I love my baby, but why can't we can't agree 
   C                                      G   G7 
I love my woman, but why can't we can't agree 
D                                 C              G 
I really love that woman, wonder why we can't agree

It's your opinion friend-girl, that I may be right or wrong

But when you watch your close friend, baby, then your enemies 
 

                     G 
     can't do you no harm
