Remember My Forgotten Man (From "Gold Diggers of 1933") - 2003 Remastered

I don't know if he deserves a bit of sympathy
 Forget your sympathy, that's all right with me
 I was satisfied to drift along from day to day
 Till they came and took my man away
 Remember my forgotten man
 You put a rifle in his hand
 You sent him far away
 You shouted: "Hip-hooray!"
 But look at him today
 Remember my forgotten man
 You had him cultivate the land
 He walked behind the plow
 The sweat fell from his brow
 But look at him right now
 And once, he used to love me
 I was happy then
 He used to take care of me
 Won't you bring him back again?
 'Cause ever since the world began
 A woman's got to have a man
 Forgetting him, you see
 Means you're forgetting me
 Like my forgotten man
