From: Breaser

If anyone recalls lyrics to "Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean," or the answer song "Daughter, That's Your Red Wagon Now," please submit. These tunes may be by Ruth Brown--in early 50's.

Breaser,

I have a little more information for you. This was probably a signature tune for Koko Taylor. It was written by Johhny Wallace. For you Mudcatters out there, I have checked the DT, OLGA, Lyrics World, and Rabid Squirrel and have not found the lyrics. I don't have a bookmark for Harry's Blues Archives here at work, but that could be a source.

Breaser,

I have checked a few other sites. Ruth Brown did do this song in the swing era. I have founded it listed, but no lyrics.
