My Man

It's cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man
Cold and wet, tired you bet
But all that I soon forget
With my man

He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
Is my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him

I don't know why I should
He isn't good
He isn't true
He beats me too
What can I do?

Oh, my man
I love him so

He'll never know
All my life is just a spare
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 someday
For whatever my man is
I am his forevermore

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'd 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 a spare
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 someday
For whatever my man is
I am his forevermore
