You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.

I guess if you say so
     Am              G          F           E7
I'll have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Now baby, listen baby, don't-a treat me this-a way
      Am    G            F         E7
For I'll be back on my feet some day.      
      Am           G              F      E7
(Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood
          Am        G        F            E7
you ain't got no money you just ain't no good.)
         Am       G      F    E7
Well, I guess if you say so
     Am             G          F           E7
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

(Oh, now baby, please)         Don't you come back no more.
Am            G                 F        E7
(What you tryin' to do to me?) Don't you come back no more.
Am            G                 F        E7
(Oh, don't treat me like that) Don't you come back no more.
