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. |
|
Refrain: |
|
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 |
