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 mus' 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).

When he goes away,

Dat's a rainy day,

And when he comes back dat day is fine,

De sun will shine!

He kin come home as late as can be,

Home without him ain't no home to me,
