I love my mister man 
 And I can't tell you why 
 Dere ain't no reason 
 Why I should love dat man 
 It mus' be sumpin' dat de angels done plan 
  
 De chimney's smokin' 
 De roof is leakin' in 
 But he don't seem to care 
 He can be happy with jus' a sip of gin 
 I even loves him when his kisses got gin 
  
 Fish got to swim, and birds got to fly 
 I got to love one man 'til I die 
 Can't help lovin' dat man of mine. 
  
 Tell me he's lazy tell me he's slow 
 Tell me I'm crazy maybe I know 
 Can't help lovin' dat man of mine 
  
 When he goes away 
 Dat's a rainy day 
 And when he comes back dat day is fine 
 The sun will shine 
  
 He can come home as late as can be 
 Home without him ain't no home to me 
 Can't help lovin' dat man of mine 
  
 When he goes away 
 Dat's a rainy day 
 And when he comes back dat day is fine 
 The sun will shine 
  
 He kin come home as late as can be 
 Home without him ain't no home to me 
 Can't help lovin' dat man of mine
