How Can You Love Me Lyrics - Washboard Sam

Now oh mama, how I love you 

An you said you loved me, too 

Now oh mama, how I love you 

An you said you loved me, too 

But I don't see how you can love me 

Lord, an treat me like you do 

You said you are mine 

My-oh-my! 

When you know you was leavin' 

Gal, all the time 

You can't be mine 

And someone else's, too 

Now how can you love me 

Hoo, and treat me like you do? 

I treat you nice and kind 

Mama, in ev'ryway 

You leave early in the ev'nin' 

And don't come back 

'Till the break of day 

I don't care what you do 

Gal, you know I still love you 

But how can you love me 

And treat me like you do? 

'Play it for me, boy' 

(instrumental & guitar) 

You didn't want me 

Whilst I was nice and kind 

But someday you gon' want me 

An I'll be done change my mind 

I'm 'ona find someone else 

Mama, to tell my troubles to 

How can you love me 

Hoo, and treat me like you do?
