From the LP Blues Classics 26: When Women Sang The Blues.
There's one man I love, one man I crave, one man I'm wild about There's one man I love, one man I crave, one man I'm wild about The one man I crave, he knows what it's all about Some day, I'll get every man I love Ooh some day, I'll get every man I love Just as sure as I live, and the stars shine up above Will there ever be a time when a, woman won't need no man? Will there ever be a time when a, woman won't need no man? And when that day comes, I wanna die if I can I'm gonna tell you people somethin', as true as the stars above I'm gonna tell you people somethin', as true as the stars above Life really ain't worth nothin', if you ain't got the man you love
From Blues Classics LP 26 "When Women Sang The Blues".
I've got a man in Shreveport, he's forever on my mind I've got a man in Shreveport, he's forever on my mind When I lay down at night, he bothers me all the time He's a long tall papa, live mostly on Texas Avenue He's a long tall papa, live mostly on Texas Avenue And if I don't get that man, I'll forever have the Shreveport Blues He's a sweet lovin' man, one that knows his stuff He's a sweet lovin' man, one that knows his stuff Takes me in his arms so easy, he's not a bit rough I never get tired of lovin', cause he's got all I need I never get tired of lovin', cause he's got all I need I want my lovin', ten or twelve times a week Shreveport Shreveport, Shreveport where is my man? Shreveport Shreveport, Shreveport where is my man? Shreveport Shreveport, Shreveport where is my man?
