Lonnie Johnson - Sam, You're Just A Rat (1932) lyrics

Sam, you say you're my friend, but your ways I just don't like.

Sam, you say you're my friend, but your ways I just don't like.

Soon as I leave my home, you're tryin' to bite me in my back.

Now Sam, you're not my friend, and my home you better stop hangin' 'round.

Sam, you're not my friend, and my home you better stop hangin' 'round.

'Cause I paid for your coffin, and I mean that you're graveyard bound.

Sam, if you want a woman go get one, and let my wife alone.

Sam, if you want a woman go get one, and let my wife alone.

'Cause if I would catch you with my wife, you're hell bound sure as I'm born.

Sam, a real man can't live happy, for no-good men like you.

Sam, a real man can't live happy, for no-good men like you.

You're tryin' to wreck my family, and some other man's family too.

Sam, I thought you was my friend, I thought you just was swell.

Sam, I thought you was my friend, I thought you was just too swell.

I'm goin' you a vacation, that's a round trip ticket to hell.
