[Ab] [C] [Cm] I've been abused, and I've been misused, and I'm mad as hell.
In other words, I'm stone mad.
You know, I took a young lady out to dinner, and after dinner she said, I'm going to have
to leave you now.
I said, do you mean to tell me I done spent 15 or 16 dollars and you're going to leave
me and ain't going to do nothing?
Do you know what that dirty woman said?
Put her hands on her hip, look at me and say, I knew all the time what you had on your mind,
but your son would be that way sometimes.
