I know a triflin' man, They call him Triflin' Sam, He lives in Birmingham, 'Way down in Alabam, Now, the other night, He had a fight With a gal called Mandy Brim, She sadly stated, she was aggravated, And she yelled these words to him:
Aggravatin' Papa, don't try to two-time me! Aggravatin' Papa, treat me kind or let me be; Listen while I get you told, Stop messin' round with my jellyroll, If I catch you out with your high-brown baby, I'll smack you down, and I don't mean maybe! Aggravatin' Papa, I'll do anything you say, But when you start to running, don't you run around my way; Now, Papa, treat me pretty, nice and sweet, 'Cause I possess a forty-four that don't repeat, So, Aggravatin' Papa, don't try to two-time me!
Aggravatin' Papa, don't try to two-time me! Aggravatin' Papa, treat me kind or let me be; Listen while I get you told, Stop messin' round with my jellyroll, If I catch you out with your high-brown baby, I'll smack you down, and I don't mean maybe! Aggravatin' Papa, I'll do anything you say, But when you start to running, don't you run around my way; Got one hand on my razor, one arm around my gun, If I catch you foolin' round, I'll tear your doghouse down, So, Aggravatin' Papa, don't try to two-time me!
I've cried both night and day, You've always had your way; But now you're leavin,' You're goin' away to stay.
What grieves my weary mind I've been so good and kind; If you had to leave me, Why did you wait till today?
When you're leavin' me, pretty baby, Someone else will take your place; For many years, I've long been waiting, Just anyplace with so much grace, Some place like a millionaire, Lord, I do declare, With my dainty figure and my baby stare, So if you're leavin' me, pretty baby, Someone else will take your place.
I said, you're leavin' me, pretty baby, Someone else will take your place. For many years I've long been waiting, Just anyplace with so much grace, So if you didn't want me, Tell me to my face, 'Cause five or six women long to take your place, If you're dissatisfied and feel like leavin' Someone else will take your place.
[Spoken] Hit that thing, big boy!
When you're leavin' me, pretty baby, Someone else will take your place. For many years I've long been waiting, Anywhere with so much grace, So have a drink, You're in for fun, The chance is gone, you might be wrong, If you're dissatisfied and feel like leavin' Someone else will take your place.
