Ida Cox - Give Me a Break Blues lyrics

Give me a break papa, don't throw your sweet mama down Give me a break papa, don't throw your sweet mama down You treated me so mean, ain't you tired of doggin' me 'round? There was a time when nobody wanted you but me There was a time when nobody wanted you but me You didn't have no friends, you were poor and hungry as could be I took you up and fed you, give you a nice home too I took you up and fed you, give you a nice home too That's why I can't understand why you treat me dirty like you do Now I'm sad and lonely, feel mistreated and blue Now I'm sad and lonely, feel mistreated and blue Won't you give me a break papa, like I gave you?
