My Man

Sometimes I say
If I could just gey away
With my man
He'd go straght sure as fate
For it never is too late
For a man
I just like to dream
Of a cottage by a stream
With my man
Where a few flowers grew
And perhaps a kid or two
Like my man
And then my eyes get wet
I 'most forget
'Till he gets hot
And tells my not to talk such rot
Oh, my man, I love him so
Hell never know
All my life is just a spare
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All right
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All right
Whats the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I'm his forevermore
Whats the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know Ill come back
On my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I'm his forevermore
