Theres a blues song.  Its song by a woman some of the lyrics are hay ladies let tell you about my man, he treats me real good, goes to work like a good man should.  He keeps me satified.  But that dont mean i'm his maid. He want me to cook the food, wash the car, I just think hes gone to far get maid.  If he think i'm gonna stand over a hot stove all day you just playing yo self.

Answer
Hi Tiffany,

Ma Rainey and Hattie McDaniel both recorded songs "Let Me Tell You About My Man". Those are VERY old songs. I suggest the artist you are asking about is KoKo Taylor, she was a blues singer, her
songs are still available. I couldn't find it in KoKo's discography, but I think I heard her perform that song live. Regards, George
