| Oh listen, sister
|
| I love my mister man
|
| And I can’t tell yo' why
|
| Dere ain’t no reason
|
| Why I should love dat man
|
| It must be sumpin' dat de angels done plan
|
| Fish got to swim, birds got to fly
|
| I got to love one man till I die
|
| Can’t help lovin' dat man of mine
|
| Tell me he’s lazy, tell me he’s slow
|
| Tell me I’m crazy (maybe I know)
|
| Can’t help lovin' dat man of mine
|
| When he goes away
|
| Dat’s a rainy day
|
| But when he comes back dat day is fine
|
| De sun will shine!
|
| He kin come home as late as kin be
|
| Home widout him ain’t no home to me
|
| Can’t help lovin' dat man of mine
|
| My man is shif’less
|
| An' good for nuthin' too
|
| (He's mah man jes' de same)
|
| He’s never round here
|
| When dere is work to do
|
| He’s never round here when dere’s workin' to do
|
| De chimbley’s smokin'
|
| De roof is leakin' in
|
| But he don’t seem to care
|
| He kin be happy
|
| Wid jes' a sip of gin
|
| Ah even love him when his kisses got gin!
|
| Repeat Refrain |
