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



De chimney's smokin'

De roof is leakin' in

But he don't seem to care

He can be happy with jus' a sip of gin

I even loves him when his kisses got gin



Fish got to swim, and birds got to fly

I got to love one man 'til 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

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' dat 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 kin come home as late as can be

Home without him ain't no home to me

Can't help lovin' dat man of mine
