Del Reeves - Man Needs Woman lyrics

MAN NEEDS WOMAN

(Kelso Herston)

« © '66 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »

Now Napoleon made a big scene

And in battle he acted mean

But when the smoke cleared you'd find him sitting

By his sweet little Josephine

A man needs a woman to hold his hand

A man needs a woman to understand

A man needs a woman by his side

A man needs a woman all the time

Now that outlaw Robin Hood

Would spend that money if he could

But Maria that outlaws sweetheart

Made old Robin promise he'd be good

A man needs a woman to hold his hand...

Now there's a history full of mistakes

But how many did women make

I'll bet a man said good fire

When they burned poor old Joan at the stakes

A man needs a woman to hold his hand...

A man needs a woman to hold his hand

A man needs a woman to understand
