Leon Redbone - I Hate A Man Like You lyrics

I hate a man like you Don’t like the things you do When I met you, thought you were right You married me, stayed out the first night Do you think that’s treatin’ your wife right I hate a man like you I hate a man like you Don’t like the things you do Just like a woman, you always carry tales Tryin’ to make trouble, wanna get me in jail Then you can’t find no one to go my bail I hate a man like you I hate a man like you Don’t like the things you do Walkin’ ‘round with a switch and a rock Shootin’ dice, always playin’ cards While I bring a pint* from the white folks’ yard I hate a man like you I hate a man like you Can’t stand the things you do Eatin’ and drinkin’, sittin’ at the inn Grinnin’ in my face, winkin’ at my friends When my back is turned you’re like a rooster at a hen I hate a man like you * pronounced "paint"
