Story Behind The Song
Chinese book of Proverbs. Whiskey. Reckless Love affairs.
Song Description
A communist dies in china, and is then reincarnated into an American, where he soon hops trains, dances with ugly gals, breeds and spreads his seed across sweet lady liberty.
God Bless the Usa, where they don't cut a man's pecker off for running away, and they don't kill a mama's baby, when the numbers and the doctors and the gender of the baby don't fit quota for that day, OH Whoa there Lordy Lord, wontchya let a gambler be a china man too???

Lyrics
~ Woman Best You Love Me The Way I Am ~
----------------------------------------
Riches add to the fortune,
Virtues add to the man,
But I been gambling so long now darling,
You better love me the way I am,
Woman better love me,
The way she found me,
Cause that's the way I am,
The way I am lord,
Ohh the way I am,
----------
Better a friend come to visit,
Than come and live with you,
Remember that when I'm leaving darling,
Which I'm sho' to do,
Woman better love me,
The way she found me,
Cause that's the way I am,
The way I am lord,
Ohh the way I am,
------------------------------
Well the grass fears the frost,
Frost fears the sun,
Sun fears the cloudy sky,
When the storming soon to come,
---------
Memories last much better mama,
Not so firm as faded ink,
Can't expect a gambler child,
To buy you anything,
Woman better love me,
The way she found me,
Cause that's the way I am,
The way I am lord,
Ohh the way I am,
----------------------------------
Now follow a workingman,
You get to sleep indoors,
Follow a gambler, child,
You'll be sleeping most nights on the porch,
Woman better love me,
The way she found me,
Cause that's the way I am,
The way I am lord,
Ohh the way I am,
----------------------------
