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
