I don't know
if I deserve a bit of sympathy,
save your sympathy;
that's all right with me.
I was satisfied to drift along,
from day to day,
till you came and took my man away.

Remember my forgotten man
you put a rifle in his hand
you sent him far away.
You shouted: "Hip Hooray!"
but look at him today!
Remember my forgotten man
you had him cultivate the land;
He walked behind a plow
the sweat fell from his brow
but look at him right now!
And once he used to love me,
I was happy then;
He used to take care of me,
won't you bring him back again?
'Cause ever since the world began,
a woman's got to have a man;
forgetting him, you see,
means you're forgetting me;
like my forgotten man.

Remember my forgotten man
you put a rifle in his hand
you sent him far away.
You shouted: "Hip Hooray!"
but look at him today!
Remember my forgotten man
you had him cultivate the land;
He walked behind a plow
the sweat fell from his brow
but look at him right now!
And once he used to love me,
I was happy then;
He used to take care of me,
won't you bring him back again?
'Cause ever since the world began,
a woman's got to have a man;
forgetting him, you see,
means you're forgetting me;
like my forgotten man.
