Here's what I think I hear, at The Red Hot Jazz Archive:


SWEET MAN, SWEET MAN
As sung by Lucille Bogan, 1934:

1. Sweet man, sweet man,
What make your ??? get so hard?
Sweet man, sweet man,
What make your ??? get so hard?
And I would come to see you,
But your woman is got me barred.

2. He caught the Frisco. He caught the Frisco,
And I just can't keep from cryin'.
He caught the Frisco. He caught the Frisco,
And I just can't keep from cryin',
And if he don't come back,
I will lose my worried mind.

3. He is a rambler. He is a rambler,
And he is not satisfied.
He is a rambler. He is a rambler,
And he is not satisfied,
And I know he was a rambler
When he caught that train to ride.

4. I'm going to find him. I'm going to find him
With my smoky .45.
I'm going to find him. I'm going to find him
With my smoky .45,
'Cause you know I love that man,
And he's so hard to find.

5. He's gone. He's gone,
And he's forever on my mind.
He's gone. He's gone,
And he's forever on my mind,
And I want to see my man
'Cause he's so good and kind.
