Sweet Mistreater - Bessie Smith (贝西·史密斯)-歌词

Sweet Mistreater - Bessie Smith (贝西·史密斯)

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
