It cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man

Cold or wet, tired, you bet 
All that I soon forget
With my man

He's not much on looks
And no hero out of books
But I love him
Yes, I love him

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 bright, all right

What's the difference if I’ll say
I will go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I am his forevermore
