My Man (Mon Homme) - John Lee H****r/Billie Holiday/Pollack/Yvain/Willernetz/Charles

Sometimes I say

If I could just 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
