My man he brought me joy,
He thought he did.
My man he bought me joy,
he thought he did
My man I'm his little toy
He thinks I am,
I am his boat - ship ohoy!
He will sail me all around
Except where my life is bound,
He can't see what I'll be.
    Oh what a drag - Oh what a drag!

My man he brought me fun,
He thought he did.
My man he bought me fun,
He thought he did.
My man, I'm his little sun
He thinks I am.
I am his wheel, start to run!
He will roll it all around
Except where my life is bound,
He can't see what I'll be.
    Oh what a drag - Oh what a drag!

All the times that I've tried to say,
`Baby listen! Now go away!'
Every time then my mouth got shut
And the stew burned in passion's pot.
Oh what a drag - Oh what a drag!

My man he brought me love,
He thought he did.
My man he bought me love,
He thought he did.
Me man, I'm his little dove,
he thinks I am.
I am his right-handed glove!
He will wear it all around
Except where my love is bound,
He can't see where I'm free.
    Oh what a drag - Oh what a drag!
