It's cost me a lot but there's one thing that I've got

It's my man cold and wet tired you bet

But all that I soon forget with my man

He's not much for looks

And no hero out of books is my man

Two or three girls has he

That he likes as well as me but I love him

I don't know why I should

He isn't good he isn't true

He beats me too

What can I do

Oh my man I love him so

He'll never know

All my life is just despair

But I don't care

When he takes me in his arms

The world is bright all right

What's the difference if I say

I'll go away when I know

I'll come back on my knees some day

For whatever my man is

I am his forever more

Oh my man I love him

Sometimes I say

If I could just get away with my man

He'd go straight sure as fate

For it never is too late for a man

I just like to dream

Of a cottage by a stream with my man

Where a few flowers grew

And perhaps a kid or two like my man

And then my eyes get wet

I 'most forget 'til he gets hot

And tells me not to talk such rot

Oh my man I love him so

He'll never know

All my life is just despair

But I don't care

When he takes me in his arms

The world is bright all right

What's the difference if I say

I'll go away when I know

I'll come back on my knees some day

For what ever my man is

I am his forever more
