I love my man

On my life i say i don't





I love my man

On my life i say i don't





But i'll quit my man

On my life i say i won't


I've been your slave baby


Ever since i've been your way

I've been your slave


Ever since i've been your faith


But before i be your dog

I'll see you in your grave





My man wouldn't give me no breakfast

Wouldn't give me no dinner


Squacked about my supper


Then he put me outdoors

Heaven erred to late


A matchbox on my clothes


I didn't have so many

But i had a long long ways to go





I ain't good looking

And my hair ain't curls


I ain't good looking


And my hair ain't curls




But my mother she give me something


It's going to carry me through this world

Some man like me 'cuz i'm happy


Some 'cuz i'm snappy


Some call me honey

Others think i've got money


Some say billie


Baby you're built for speed

Now if you put that altogether


Makes me everything a good man needs
