Lyric When A Man Is Treated Like A Dog (1927)

So many cold mornin s, you drove me from your door.
So many cold mornin s, you drove me from your door.
I told my best friend, that you don t want me no more.

When you got a good livin , don t trust no woman to be your friend.
When you got a good livin , don t trust no woman to be your friend.
You might as well to lose your head, and jump in the lion s den.

When I try to be good, my baby treats me like a dog.
When I try to be good, my baby treats me like a dog.
I buy silk for her bed, and she sleeps in a hollow log.

I done got it in my mind, that I just can t understand.
I done got it in my mind, that I just can t understand.
I woman don t want a do-right husband, she wants a monkey man.
