Lyrics for My Man
Sometimes I say If I just could get away With my man He'd go straight sure as fate For it never is too late For a man I just like to dream Of a cottage by a stream With my man Where a few flowers grew And perhaps a kid or two Like my man And then my eyes get wet I most forget Till he gets hot and tells me not To talk such rot Oh my man, I love him so He'll never know All my life is just despair But I don't care When he takes me in his arms The world is bright, all right What's the difference if I say I'll go away When I know I'll come back on my knees some day For what ever my man is I am his forever more What's the difference if I say I'll go away When I know I'll come back on my knees some day For whatever my man is I am his forever more
