When I was just a little boy
when I didn't know
My daddy put me n his knee and
showed me the way to go
He said a woman will do her
best to make a fool out of you
So be a man and stand the test
and see what you can do
I'm glad I am born a man
I'm glad I am born a man
If you got what it takes my boy
You can always choose
Work it out before it's too late my boy
Make sure you never lose
I'm glad I am born a man
I'm glad I am born a man
Born a man
Ev'ry woman wants her man to live
and learn on her land
Where I go baby you go
Arrangement man and wife
I'm glad I am born a man
I'm glad I am born a man
Born a man
