Fish got to swim, 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. |
|
Oh listen sister, |
|

|

|
Dere ain't no reason |
|
Why Ishould love dat man, |
|
It mus' be sumpin dat de angels done plan. |

|
When he goes away, |
|
Dat's a rainy day, |
|
And when he comes back dat day is fine, |
|
De 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. |
|
De chimney's smokin' |
|
De roof is leakin' in, |
|
But he don't seem to care. |
|
Dere ain't no reason why |
|
I should love dat man. |
|
And why do you love that man? |

It mus' be sumpin' dat de angels done plan. |
