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, etc... ad lib during break

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, etc... ad lib and fade out
