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
