You Ought To Be Ashamed Lyrics


Bessie Smith You Ought To Be Ashamed

You'll be sorry, daddy, you just wait and see
Daddy, wait and see
Wouldn't treat a dog the way you treatin' me
Like you treatin' me

I'm a total nervous wreck with a millstone 'round my neck
I'm as blue as any gal can be
Don't be surprised if you see me hanging from a tree
Hangin' from a tree

You ought to be ashamed, ashamed, ashamed
Ashamed of what you've done to me
But, daddy, I'm to blame, I'm to blame
For lettin' you have my company

I'm a poor, weak vessel and I just can't help myself
And, daddy, when you quit me, I can't crawl up on no shelf
But you ought to be ashamed, ashamed, ashamed
Ashamed of how you trеatin' me

You ought to be ashamed, ashamеd, ashamed
Ashamed of what you've done to me
But, daddy, I'm the same, yes, the same
You will find that I will always be

You can dodge me and neglect me
Treat me like a hound
I'll be here waiting for you
When you're tired of runnin' 'round
But you ought to be ashamed, ashamed, ashamed
Ashamed of how you treatin' me
