I hate a man like you,
Don't like the things you do,
When I met you, I thought you was right,
You married me, and stayed out the first night,
Do you think you treatin' your wife is right,
Lord I hate a man like you.
I hate a man like you,
Don't like the things you do,
Just like a woman, you always carryin' tales,
Tryin' to make trouble, wanna get me in jail,
Then you can't find no one to go my bail,
Lord I hate a man like you.
I hate a man like you,
Don't like the things you do,
Walkin' round with a sweet shamrock,
Shootin' dice, always playin' cards,
While I bring a pain from the white folks yard,
Lord I hate a man like you.
I hate a man like you,
Can't stand the things you do,
Eatin' and drinkin', sittin' at the inn,
Grinnin' in my face, and winkin' at my friends,
When my back is turned you're like a rooster at a hen,
Lord I hate a man like you.
Lord I hate a man like you.
