Mister Man - Part I by Ida Cox and Papa Charlie Jackson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I say, pretty daddy, make me understand (Lord, man, man, man)
I say, pretty daddy, make me understand (Lord, man, man, man)
Why I'm so crazy about you, I can't love no other man (Lord, man, man, man)

[Verse 2]
I went to the gypsy, what do you reckon she said? (Come get me man, man, man, man)
I went to the gypsy, what do you reckon she said? (Oh man, man, man)
"Your yellow man will keep you with a hung-down head" (Mister man, mister man, mister man)

[Verse 3]
Black man is evil, brownskin man is too (Lord, man, man, man)
Black man is evil, brownskin man is too (Lord, man, man, man)
But a yellow man is conceited, and he'll make a fool out of you (Mister man, mister man, mister man)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
What in the world, what in the world will I do? (Lord, man, man, man)
What in the world, what in the world will I do? (Mister man, man, man, man)
Heartbrokеn, mistreated, and disgusted too (Lord, man, man, man)
[Verse 5]
I'm going to gеt me a gun and satisfy my mind (Come get me man, man, man, man)
I'm going to get me a gun and satisfy my mind (Oh, man, man, man)
For this yellow man mistreated me, I mean, his last time (Lord, man, man, man)
