(a.stroud)

Originally performed by nina simone. jeff performed it live at sin-é, new york, late in the night on december 31 1995. being male, he had to make some changes to the lyrics, so his version is also known as be your husband. he did also cut some verses.

Be your husband if you'll be my wife

Be your husband if you'll be my wife

[original lyrics said "be my husband, man, i'll be your wife]



Stick to the promise that you made me

You've gotta stick to the promise that you made me

Stay away from johnny lee

[in the original "johnny lee" was "rosalie"]



Oh daddy gotta love me good

Oh daddy gotta love me good

Oh daddy gotta love me good



If you want me to, i'll cook and sew

If you want me to, i'll cook and sew

If you want me to, i'll cook and sew



Don't you treat me so doggone mean

Please don't treat me so doggone mean

Cause you're the meanest man i've ever seen



Oh daddy love me good yeah

Oh daddy love me good yeah

Oh daddy now love me good

Oh daddy now love me good
