My, it cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got, it's my man
Cold and wet, tired, you bet
All of that I forget with my man

He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books, he's 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 do

Oh, my man, I love him so, he'll never know
All my life is just despair, I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, and it's all right

What's the difference if I say I'll go away
When I'll come back on my knee someday
Whatever my man is, I am his forever more

It cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got, it's my man
Cold and wet, tired, you bet
All of that I forget with my man

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

And I don't know how I should
He isn't good, he isn't true, he beats me, too

Oh, my man, I love him so, he'll never know
All my life is just despair, I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, and it's all right

What's the difference if I say I'll go away
When I'll come back on my knee someday
Whatever my man is, I am his forever more

Forever more
And I don't know how I should
'Cause I know that he's no good
And I know he isn't true
And yes, he beats me, too
But he is my man
But he is my man
But he is my man
