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
