Washboard Sam - How Can You Love Me lyrics

Now oh mama, how I love you An you said you loved me, too Now oh mama, how I love you An you said you loved me, too But I don't see how you can love me Lord, an treat me like you do You said you are mine My-oh-my! When you know you was leavin' Gal, all the time You can't be mine And someone else's, too Now how can you love me Hoo, and treat me like you do? I treat you nice and kind Mama, in ev'ryway You leave early in the ev'nin' And don't come back 'Till the break of day I don't care what you do Gal, you know I still love you But how can you love me And treat me like you do? 'Play it for me, boy' (instrumental & guitar) You didn't want me Whilst I was nice and kind But someday you gon' want me An I'll be done change my mind I'm 'ona find someone else Mama, to tell my troubles to How can you love me Hoo, and treat me like you do? ~
