[00:01.701] My Handy Man -Original -Ethel Waters
[00:11.681] Whoever said a good man was hard to find
[00:15.931] Postively absolutely sure was blind;
[00:20.861] I found the best that ever was
[00:25.51] Here's just some of the things he does:
[00:30.471] He shakes my ashes greases my griddle
[00:35.281] Churns my butter strokes my fiddle;
[00:39.961] My man is such a handy man
[00:49.341] He threads my needle creams my wheat
[00:53.961] Heats my heater chops my meat;
[00:58.521] My man is such a handy man
[01:07.691] Don't care if you believe or not
[01:12.511] He sure is good to have around;
[01:17.81] Why when my furnace gets too hot
[01:21.151] He's right there to turn my damper down
[01:26.511] For everything he's got a scheme;
[01:30.821] You ought to see his new starter that he uses on my machine;
[01:35.871] My man is such a handy man
[01:44.841] He flaps my flapjacks cleans off the table
[01:49.461] He feeds the horses in my stable;My man is such a handy man
[01:59.571] He's God's gift
[02:02.751] Sometimes he's up long before dawn
[02:07.121] Busy trimming the rough edges off my lawn;
[02:11.371] Oooh you can't get away from it He's such a handy man
[02:20.981] Never has a single thing to say
[02:25.591] While he's working hard;
[02:30.31] I wish that you could see the way
[02:34.651] He handles my front yard
[02:39.81] My ice don't get a chance to melt away
[02:43.521] He sees that I get that old fresh piece every day;
[02:48.631] Lord that man sure is such a handy man
