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 is 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.
