Aggravatin’ Papa Bessie Smith

[Verse 1]
I know a triflin' man
They call him Triflin' Sam
He lives in Birmingham
Way down in Alabam'

[Verse 2]
Now the other night
He had a fight
With a gal named Mandy Brymm
She plainly stated she was aggravated
And she shouted out to him

[Chorus]
Aggravatin' papa, don't you try to two-time me
I said, don't two-time me
Aggravatin' papa, treat me kind or let me be
I mean, just let me be

[Bridge]
Listen while I get you told
Stop messin' round, sweet jellyroll
If you stay out with a high-brown baby
I'll smack you down, and I don't mean maybe

[Chorus]
Aggravatin' papa, I'll do anything you say
Anything you say
But when you go struttin', do your strut around my way
So papa, just treat me pretty, be nice and kind
The way you treated me will make me lose my mind
Aggravatin' papa, don't you try to two-time me
