He May Be Your Man 1922

Miss Minnie Lee, from Tennessee,
was known to be quite rough,
Any time and any where
she would always strutt her stuff.
Now Sadie Snow, she had a beau,
she loved him night and day,
Until Minnie shook a shimmy
and stole his heart away,
Poor Sadie nearly died
but Minnie only sighed
then I heard her say.

He may be your man
but he comes to see me sometimes,
And when he's with you
he's always got me on his mind,
I ain't no vampire that is true,
But I can cert'nly take your man from you
My wicked smile
my wicked walk,
I've got the kind of eyes
that seem to talk.
It's no need of cryin'
and it's no use to weep and mourn
I love your man
and I'm gonna take him
for my own, my own
I don't mean to be so bold,
But I just want to get you told
He may be your man
but he comes to see me sometimes.

He may be your man
but he comes to see me sometimes,
And when he's with you
he's always got me on his mind,
I ain't no vampire that is true,
But I can cert'nly take your man from you
My wicked smile
my wicked walk,
I've got the kind of eyes
that seem to talk.
It's no need of cryin'
and it's no use to weep and mourn
I love your man
and I'm gonna take him
for my own, my own
I don't mean to be so bold,
But I just want to get you told
He may be your man
but he comes to see me sometimes.

Miss Ludy Green was some Lil' Queen,
and jealous as could be,
When her man went out at night
They would always disagree.
Down at the ball,
at moonshine ball
where ev'rybody'd go
was Miss Minnie drinking plenty
and hugging Ludy's beau
Ludy was mad as well,
Minnie said: "I will tell you now
so you'll know."

He may be your man
but he comes to see me sometimes,
And when he's with you
he's always got me on his mind,
I ain't no vampire that is true,
But I can cert'nly take your man from you
My wicked smile
my wicked walk,
I've got the kind of eyes
that seem to talk.
It's no need of cryin'
and it's no use to weep and mourn
I love your man
and I'm gonna take him
for my own, my own
I don't mean to be so bold,
But I just want to get you told
He may be your man
but he comes to see me sometimes.

He may be your man
but he comes to see me sometimes,
And when he's with you
he's always got me on his mind,
I ain't no vampire that is true,
But I can cert'nly take your man from you
My wicked smile
my wicked walk,
I've got the kind of eyes
that seem to talk.
It's no need of cryin'
and it's no use to weep and mourn
I love your man
and I'm gonna take him
for my own, my own
I don't mean to be so bold,
But I just want to get you told
He may be your man
but he comes to see me sometimes.
