Big Bill Broonzy - Country Boy Blues Lyrics

(Big Bill Broonzy)

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
