I Hate A Man Like You

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
