Washboard Sam - How Can You Love Me lyrics

rate me

Now oh mama, how I love you

An you said you loved me, too

Now oh mama, how I love you

An you said you loved me, too

But I don't see how you can love me

Lord, an treat me like you do

You said you are mine

My-oh-my!

When you know you was leavin'

Gal, all the time

You can't be mine

And someone else's, too

Now how can you love me

Hoo, and treat me like you do?

I treat you nice and kind

Mama, in ev'ryway

You leave early in the ev'nin'

And don't come back

'Till the break of day

I don't care what you do

Gal, you know I still love you

But how can you love me

And treat me like you do?

'Play it for me, boy'

(instrumental & guitar)

You didn't want me

Whilst I was nice and kind

But someday you gon' want me

An I'll be done change my mind

I'm 'ona find someone else

Mama, to tell my troubles to

How can you love me

Hoo, and treat me like you do?
