Oh, listen, sister, I love my Mister man
I can't tell yo' why
Dere ain't no reason why I should love dat man
It must be sumpin' dat de angels done plan
De chimhley's smokin', de roof is leakin' in
But he don't seem to care
He can be happy with jes' a sip of gin
I even loves him when his kisses got gin
Melody
Fish got to swim and 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
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
