1937 MT 74 Complete on Columbia v.4 4 3'14"

Fish got to swim and birds got to fly
I got to love man till I die
Can't help lovin' that 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' that 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' that man of mine
