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 despair,
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right, 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 whatever my man is
I am his forever more
