Alimonia Blues
Watcha doin'?
And baby
Why you treat me like you do, baby?
And baby, baby
I wonder why you treat me like you do, babe
You know I love you, baby
You drive me the way you do, baby
You takin' me downtown to the judge
You told the judge
I didn't never treat you right
You told the judge
I hadn't paid no alimonia
In three months until today
You know, baby
You was wrong, you was wrong, baby
And baby, baby
I took your word, babe
I get you my money every week
I didn't bring you downtown
You told me
That you weren't goin' downtown on me
Well, you, you let it pile up
All the back alimonia, baby
Come downtown and told the judge
I hadn't give you a thing, didn't give you a thing
You know, you know, that 'cause you have no receipt for it
You lied to me
And baby, baby
Why you treat me this way, baby?
I tried to talk to the judge
You told me to shut up
I couldn't reduce the receipt
My wife was tryin', she was tryin'
But I could see it in her face, in her face
She couldn't look at me, couldn't look at me
Hey, hey, hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey
You told the judge
I hadn't paid no alimonia
You told the judge
Little kids was hungry
She lied on me
Hey, hey, hey
The alimonia blues
The alimonia blues
Hey, hey, hey
I never do that again
And baby
Why you treat me like you do, baby?
And baby, baby
I wonder why you treat me like you do, babe
You know I love you, baby
You drive me the way you do, baby
You takin' me downtown to the judge
You told the judge
I didn't never treat you right
You told the judge
I hadn't paid no alimonia
In three months until today
You know, baby
You was wrong, you was wrong, baby
And baby, baby
I took your word, babe
I get you my money every week
I didn't bring you downtown
You told me
That you weren't goin' downtown on me
Well, you, you let it pile up
All the back alimonia, baby
Come downtown and told the judge
I hadn't give you a thing, didn't give you a thing
You know, you know, that 'cause you have no receipt for it
You lied to me
And baby, baby
Why you treat me this way, baby?
I tried to talk to the judge
You told me to shut up
I couldn't reduce the receipt
My wife was tryin', she was tryin'
But I could see it in her face, in her face
She couldn't look at me, couldn't look at me
Hey, hey, hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey
You told the judge
I hadn't paid no alimonia
You told the judge
Little kids was hungry
She lied on me
Hey, hey, hey
The alimonia blues
The alimonia blues
Hey, hey, hey
I never do that again
