Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man song lyrics – by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein, performed in ‘Till the Clouds Roll By, Showboat
Oh listen, sister I love my mister man and I can’t tell you why Dere ain’t no reason why I should love dat man It must be sumpin’ dat de angels done plan De chimbley’s smokin’ De roof is leakin’ in But he don’t seem to care He can be happy With jes’ a sip of gin I even loves him when his kisses got gin
Fish got to swim and birds got to fly I got to love one 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
He can come home as late as can be Home without him ain’t no home to me Can’t help lovin’ that man the way I do, Oh Can’t help lovin’ that man of mine
