From YouTube:

[4] FATTENIN' FROGS FOR SNAKES
As recorded by Bumble Bee Slim, 1935

You get your breakfast in the morning, your dinner on time.
I let you spend my dollar just like you spent my dime.

CHORUS: Now I'm gettin' tired, baby, fattenin' frogs for snakes.
All these many years, baby, I'm just now seein' my mistakes.

When I first met you, mama, you didn't have no clothes.
You was broke an' hongry, an' out of dough.

Men didn't want you when you's down and out.
I got you up on your feet; now they got you steppin' out.

All these many years, baby, you've been bringin' me that jive,
Goin' to the store at noon, comin' back at five.

I work hard all the time, and bring you my pay.
You get behind my back and give it all away.
