Don’t make me pay for his mistakes, baby

He’s the one who did you wrong

Yes, don’t make me pay for his mistakes, baby

He’s the one who did you wrong

 

Well, he’s the one who gave you six babies

And I’m the one who tried to give them a home, yes I am

 

I said, I’m tired of you tellin’ me baby

But I’m the one who’s working

I’m the one trying to give them a home

 

Yes, I’m the one who’s gonna love you baby

And give him everything she had

And give him every dime

And let the kids run around hungry

Sleepin’ and a cryin’

 

So don’t make me pay for his mistakes, baby

He’s the one who did you wrong

Yes, he’s the one who gave you six babies

And I’m the one who gonna give them a home

Oh yes I am

Don’t make me pay baby

Don’t make me pay for his mistakes, baby

 

He’s the one who did you wrong

Laaawwwdddd baby

He’s the one
