Lyrics

You'll be sorry, daddy You just wait and see Daddy, wait and see Wouldn't treat a dog The way you treatin' me Like you treatin' me I'm a total nervous wreck With a millstone 'round my neck I'm as blue as any gal can be Don't be surprised if you see me hanging from a tree Hangin' from a tree You ought to be ashamed, ashamed, ashamed Ashamed of what you've done to me But, daddy, I'm to blame, I'm to blame For lettin' you have my company I'm a poor, weak vessel and I just can't help myself And, daddy, when you quit me, I can't crawl up on no shelf But you ought to be ashamed, ashamed, ashamed Ashamed of how you treatin' me You ought to be ashamed, ashamed, ashamed Ashamed of what you've done to me But, daddy, I'm the same Yes, the same You will find that I will always be You can dodge me and neglect me Treat me like a hound I'll be here waiting for you When you're tired of runnin' 'round But you ought to be ashamed, ashamed, ashamed Ashamed of how you treatin' me
