She'll Trifle on You

Cat. #1072 (MFH #265) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on May 12, 1970

VERSE 1
Now, if you love your Mamma
And she treat you right
But if she keeps on fussin'
At you every day an' night
Gonna trifle on you
She'll do it every time
When your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind

VERSE 2
Now, if your mamma's near
Take a tip from me
Lock her up at home
But hold on th th key
She'll trifle on you
She'll do it every time
When your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind

VERSE 3
But, if your Mamma's good
I'll tell you what to do
Give her lot of lovin'
But watch her closely too
She'll trifle on you
They'll do it every time
When your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you'll nearly lose your mind

VERSE 4
Now when you come home
Find your clothes not clean
If you know what I mean
She's trifle on you
They'll do it every time
When your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind

VERSE 5
Now, if you love your Mamma
And she says, she's true
Just wait till you get down an' out
An' really need her too
Then, she'll trifle on you
Do it every time
When your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind

VERSE 6
I've been t' a lot of places
There's not much I've not done
But when it comes to women
Lord, just don't trust a one
For, they'll trifle on you
They'll do it every time
When your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind
