From YouTube:

[6] I SEE MY GREAT MISTAKE
As recorded by Memphis Slim, 1940

I've got somethin' to tell you baby; don't let it break your heart.
So long together, now we've got to part,
Because I'm tired of fattenin' frogs for snakes.
After these long many years, I just see my great mistake.

Now you told me that you would love me; said you would love me all your life.
Babe, I caught you round the corner, tellin' that same lie twice.
You know I'm tired....

Now once I used to love you, I just couldn't help myself.
Found out you was givin' my love, baby, to somebody else.
You know I'm tired....

Now listen, little girl, you don't worry my mind no mo'.
I found out you actin' funny; I'm sure gonna let you go.
Because I'm tired....
