Triflin’ Blues

[Verse 1]
Miss Miranda Jackson had a lovin' man
That the ladies 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 asked him not to try

[Chorus 1]
Daddy, don't you trifle on me
While you're down in Tennessee
I've just bought a "gat," it's an "automat"
So 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 when 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 triflе on me

[Bridge ("Here mama moans 'em")]
Every day in evеry 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

[Chorus 2]
Daddy, don't you trifle on me
That's your lovin' mama's plea
Now keep 'way from me when 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
