Triflin’ Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Miss Miranda Jackson had a lovin' man
That the women all would rave about
He was such another guy as Dapper Dan
Miss Miranda shortly found it out
When he took a pleasure trip to Tennessee
Miss Miranda couldn't help but cry
Jealousy would fret her, so she wrote a letter
This is what she told him not to try

[Chorus]
Daddy, don't you trifle on me
While you're down in Tennessee
I've just bought a "gat," it's an "automat"
Now you know exactly what your mama's drivin' at
Daddy, don't you trifle on me
'Cause I'm like a bumble bee
You might ignore me while I buzz aroun'
But you'll know I'm on you when I sit down
Mama's blue as she can be
So daddy, don't you trifle on me

[Bridge ("Here mama moans 'em")]
Every day, in every way
I think much more of you
If some gal took you, I'll say
I don't know what I'd do
Winter, fall, or summertime
To me, it matters not
I'd gladly give you my last dime
Or anything I've got, but

[Chorus]
Daddy, don't you trifle on me
Better jump into the blue sea
Here is my advice, and I'm talkin' nice
Don't you let me see you walkin' with the same gal twice
Daddy, don't you trifle on me
That's your lovin' mama's plea
Now keep away from me if you just must flirt
If I catch you cheatin', you'll sure get hurt
Mama's blue as she can be
So daddy, don't you trifle on me
