You put a rifle in his hand You sent him far away You shouted "hip-horray" But look at him today Remember my forgotten man You had him cultivate the land He walked behind a 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 'Cos ever since the world began A woman's got to have a man Forgetting him you see Means you're forgetting me Like my My forgotten man .
