East Longmeadow High School, 1969 Spartanum Spectaculum. Valerie Jamison (ELHS 1969) sings "My Man";.Bob Ireland's french horn solo, floating above the melody, perfectly complements Valerie's voice. Music arranged by Mr. Roy Grundstrom, ELHS Class of 1964.
Oh, my man, I love him so
He'll never know
Oh, my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I am his forevermore
It cost me alot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man
Cold and wet
Tired, you bet
But I'll bet I soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
Is my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I don't know why I should
He isn't good
He isn't true
He beats me, too
What can I do?
Oh, my man
I love him so
He'll never know
Oh, my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I am his forevermore
