I got a man, a real handsome one 
He ain't no loafer 
, he's just a little old country boy 
I love him, if he's a little old country boy 
I love him, if he's a little old country boy 
Yes, I love him, 'cause he fills my heart with joy 
Some people say he's lazy, but I know it is a lie 
Some people say he's lazy, but I know it is a lie 
For three years he's been doing my work, and I'm perfectly satisfied 
I know he will learn to love me, when he gets to be a man 
I know he will learn to love me, when he gets to be a man 
'Cause I'm always going to feed him, right from my hand 
Now, people all want to know why do I follow my man 
Now, people all want to know why do I follow my man 
There's no need to explain, 'cause they really wouldn't understand
