Man Needs Woman Lyrics - Del Reeves

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
