Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man (11-01-37) - Teddy Wilson

Fish got to swim, birds got to fly

I got to love one man till I die

Can’t help lovin' dat 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' dat man of mine

Oh listen sister

I love my mister man

And I can’t tell you' why

Dere ain’t no reason

Why Ishould love dat man

It mus' be sumpin dat de angels done plan

Fish got to swim, birds got to fly

I got to love one man till I die

Can’t help lovin' dat 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' dat man of mine

When he goes away

Dat’s a rainy day

And when he comes back dat day is fine

De sun will shine!

He kin come home as late as can be

Home without him ain’t no home to me

Can’t help lovin' dat man of mine

De chimney’s smokin'

De roof is leakin' in

But he don’t seem to care

Dere ain’t no reason why I should love dat man

And why do you love that man?

It mus' be sumpin' dat de angels done plan

Fish got to swim, While de birds fly

Birds got to fly, Till the world dies

I got to love My gal loves me;

One man till I die.

Dat’s why she’s

Can’t help lovin' True gal of mine

Dat man of mine.

She may be lazy

Tell me he’s lazy, and slow as cold

Tell me he’s slow, Molasses, I know

Tell me I’m crazy, Can’t help lovin'

(maybe I know).

Dat gal of mine

Can’t help lovin' When I goes away

Dat man of mine.

Dat’s lovin

When he goes away, All de rainy days

Dat’s a rainy day, Dat’s loving

And when he comes back An' when I comes

Dat day is fine, Back' dat day is fine

De sun will shine!

Yes, sister Yes, sister

He kin come home She kin come home

As late as can be, as late as kin be

Home without him Home widout her

Ain’t no home to me, Ain’t no home to me

Can’t help lovin' Can’t help lovin'

Dat man of mine.

Dat gal of mine
