Oh listen sister

I love my mister man and I can't tell you 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 and birds got to fly

I got to love one man till I die

Can't help lovin' that 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' that man of mine

When he goes away

Dat's a rainy day

And when he comes back dat day is fine

The sun will shine

He can come home as late as can be

Home without him ain't no home to me

Can't help lovin' that man of mine

My man is shiftless

An' good for nothin' too

He's my man just the same

He's never 'round here

When there is work to do

He's never 'round here when there's workin' to do

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

And when he comes back dat day is fine

De sun will shine

He can come home as late as can be

Home without him ain't no home to me

Can't help lovin' dat man of mine
