I've Been Treated Wrong Lyrics - Washboard Sam

I don't know my real name 

I don't know when I was born 

I don't know my real name 

I don't know when I was born 

The trouble I've been havin' 

Seem like I was raised in an orphan home 

My mother died and left me 

When I was only two years old 

My mother died and left me 

When I was only two years old 

And the trouble I've been havin' 

The good Lord, only knows 

I been treated like an orphan 

And been worked, just like a slave 

I been treated just like an orphan 

And I've been worked, just like a slave 

And if I never get my revenge 

Evilness will carry to my grave 

Play it one time 

Now, I've been havin' trouble 

Ever since I've been grown 

Now, I've been havin' trouble 

Ever since I've been grown 

I'm too old for the orphan 

And too young for an old folks home 

Play it boys, play it, play it 

Yes, yes
