William Harris / Buddy Boy Hawkins (1927 - 1929)
How come you do me like you do baby, what make you do me like you do
How come you try to make me feel so blue, mama you know I ain't done nothing unto you
Now you know you left poor me at seven, come back at eight
You got another big fat man, slam up to my gate
What make you treat me like you did last night you know I ain't done nothing unto you baby
I ain't done nothing unto you

How come you try to make me feel so blue, what make you do me like you do
How come you try to make me feel so blue, mama you know I ain't done nothing unto you
You know you hug and kissed him, said daddy you sure is fat
I stuck my head out the window, man and hollered who in the world is that
What make you do me like you do do do, What make you do me like you do
What make you treat me like you did last, I ain't done nothing unto you

Listen here woman, I bought a pistol, I bought it today
Now I got the undertaker with me, just to haul you away
What make you treat me like you did last I ask you woman you know I ain't done nothing to you
Talking about you baby, I ain't done nothing to you

How come you treat me like you did last night, how come you do me like you do
How come you talked to Mister _____ of the crew but I ain't done nothing to you
You know you kept on talking, about that you want to get my goat
I had a brand new razor woman, just to slit your throat
What make you treat me like you did sweet baby
I ain't done nothing to you I said, I ain't done nothing to you

How come you try to make me feel so blue, what make you do me like you do
How come you try to make me feel so blue, mama I ain't done nothing to you
Listen here boys
You know a nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime
A woman get tired of one man, all the time
How come you treat me like you did sweet baby, what make you did talking about you mama
How come you you do me like you do

Now listen here
Lets see if guitar understand it

How come you try to make me feel so blue, what make you do me like you do
How come you try to make me feel so blue, I ain't done nothing
You try to give these women, everything they need
You have to make them, one of your G B V Ds
What make you do like you did
