bessie smith - my man blues lyrics

clara: who was that man i saw you with the other day?
bessie: 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?
(charlie) ’tain’t n-body 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 damper1 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!)
(bessie and clara together) ain’t nothin’ different ’bout that rotten two time man

how about it?
suits me!
suits me!
well then…!
