I hate a man like you,
Don’t like the things you do,
When I met you, thought you were right,
You married me, stayed out the first night,
Do you think that’s treatin’ your wife right,
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 carry tales,
Tryin’ to make trouble, wanna get me in jail,
Then you can’t find no one to go my bail,
I hate a man like you.

I hate a man like you,
Don’t like the things you do,
Walkin’ ‘round with a switch and a rock,
Shootin’ dice, always playin’ cards,
While I bring a pint* from the white folks’ yard,
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, winkin’ at my friends,
When my back is turned you’re like a rooster at a hen,
I hate a man like you.
