Bessie Smith - My Man Blues lyrics

Who was that man I saw you with the other day? That was my smooth black daddy that we call Charlie Gray Don't you know that's my man? Yes, that's a fact I ain't seen your name printed up and down his back You better let him be What old gal? Because you ain't talkin' to me That's my man, I want him for my own (spoken: No! No!) He's my sweet daddy You'd better leave that man alone See that suit he's got on? I bought it last week I've been buyin' clothes for five years for that is my black sheik Is that you honey? 'Tain't nobody but, who's back here? It sounds like Charlie It is my man, sweet papa Charlie Gray Your man? How do you git that way? Now, look here, honey, I been had that man for umpteen year Child, didn't I turn your damper down? Yes, Clara, and I've cut you every way but loose! Well, you might as well be get it fixed Well, then... I guess we got to have him on cooperation plan I guess we got to have him on cooperation plan (spoken: Bessie! Clara!) Ain't nothin' different 'bout that rotten two time man How about it? Suits me! Suits me! Well then...!
