(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 Be your husband if you'll be my wife Love and honor you for the rest of your life Be your husband if you'll be my wife Be your husband if you'll be my wife Be your husband if you'll be my wife Love and honor you for the rest of your life If you promise me that I'll be your man If you promise me that I'll be your man If you promise me that I'll be your man I will love the best I can Stick to the promise that you made me Stick to the promise that you made me Stick to the promise that you made me That you'll stay away from Johnny Lee Oh mamma love me good Oh mamma love me good Oh mamma love me good Oh mamma 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 Outside you there is no place to go Don't you treat me so doggone mean Don't you treat me so doggone mean Don't you treat me so doggone mean Oh you're the meanest woman i've ever seen Oh mamma love me good Oh mamma love me good Oh mamma love me good Oh mamma love me good And I'll Be your husband if you'll be my wife Be your husband if you'll be my wife Be your husband if you'll be my wife Love and honor you for the rest of your life
