When I was just a little boy , when I didn`t know 


My daddy put me n his knee and showed me the way to go 


He said " a woman will do her best to make a fool out of you 


So be a man and stand the test and see what you can do " . 




I`m glad I am born a man 


I`m glad I am born a man 




If you got what it takes my boy


You can always choose


Work it out before it`s too late my boy


Make sure you never lose 




I`m glad I am born a man 


I`m glad I am born a man 




Born a man , etc... ad lib during break 




Ev`ry woman wants her man to live and learn on her land


Where I go , baby you go 


Arrangement , man and wife 




I`m glad I am born a man 


I`m glad I am born a man 




Born a man , etc ... ad lib and fade out
