Charles, Ray - What Can You Do With A Man? Lyrics
[Luce]
Listen to your lady who speaks.
This affair has run its course.
I'll reside in Athens six weeks
While I get me a divorce.
[Dromio]
Listen to your lover who asks
Why this battle has begun.
[Luce]
He has long neglected some tasks
That a husband should have done.
He eats me out of house and home
But doesn't like my cooking.
That's nothing new with a man.
He likes to use my brush and comb
And yet he's funny-looking.
Home's like a zoo with a man.
What can you do with a man?
Some men wear half pajamas.
I took a chance.
I bought the guy pajamas-
He wears the pants.
By day he's like a five-year-old;
At night he's ninety-seven.
What can you do with a man like that?
[Dromio]
When you get mad, don't count to ten,
Go on and count a million.
Don't be a shrew with a man.
That's what you do with a man.
You need a regiment of men-
I'm only one civilian.
Wait for your cue with a man.
That's what you do with a man.
Marriage is such a blessing,
So I have found.
I've got a thousand blessings,
Each weighs a pound.
I'm only four foot ten right now,
I once was five foot seven.
That's what you did to a man like that!
[Luce]
I wear my nicest negligee
And find him reading Plato.
Nothing is new with a man.
What can you do with a man?
I shook the tree of life one day
And got a cold potato.
I'm in a stew with a man.
What can you do with a man?
Where is his sense of duty,
Where is his taste?
Acres and acres of beauty
Going to waste!
He walks me in the woods at night
To find a four-leaf clover.
What can you do with a man like that?

She was gorgeous and had a beautiful voice!
RIP Mary Ann Fisher February 23, 1923 - March 12, 2004
Omg ! He had his mistress featured on a whole song 😳 . Ray was cold blooded .
2020 check in✔
Wow! She looks so classically gorgeous in this picture here & that smoky velvety voice is simply marvelous!
Ray is the shit!!😘
I’d would love to collect live performance of singers this back in their day. Her and Margie’s voice was just IT.
My god.... from paris on the 1srt january 2020.... ❤❤❤❤
Está voz!!!!
Nestes tempos, faz tanta falta!!!
I want 12 years old when I saw the movie Ray. Numerous songs I fell in love with but this song right here over those theater speakers gave me a feeling I can't explain....at 12 years old lol. Her voice, the bass, the piano.....I fell in love with music after I watched that movie
Take me back to church.
DEFINITELY Ray Charles music....raised up on sh__ like this!
Just watched the Ray movie for the 4th time i Love this song!!!
#2019
she sang a lot better than margie hendricks
Not really
Yeah he was a genius and he may have been high as hell but the man was talented rest in heaven Ray Charles Robinson you did get a chance to sit down with Jamie Foxx who portrayed you sooo well in the movie at the part where he was wearing the white tank top for men and Ray was on the set of his own movie I thought it was awesome
Wooow she out lived him and Margie see there!!! Love her voice
👏👏
Gives me goosebumps.
Ray charles , the genius of soul: This is a gospel song.as a child of gospel preachers stretching back to slavery, I remember this song all too well; the biblical question was, "what manner of man is this?"...jesus was doing astounding things for people: healing the sick and raising the dead: Ray charles didnt change a single syllable:so Mary Ann Fisher is amazed at what an astounding effect this lover of hers is having on her...
Thank You
Beautifully haunting 🎶🎼🎵
Ry x Rexr
RIP RAY CHARLES
They don't even have soultress to even sing songs like this in 2019, ANYMORE
In the movie, ray told his wife she’s the only woman he’ll ever love . It was during the hospital scene when he held his first child . Lollll I could never be a side chick
Who what why when how wanna sea . What's I t worth . To know . Is it true necessary and productive. R U present ? I mean u asked. $? Pulled over or walking to. Be Mess in da walk through. Converting requires conversation. It's truthfully expensive to explain something needed when hospitality humbly is guilty of waste. Or freedom . Food speech arms amended to clothing and interest. Waite polls and attention. Thing I must earn aren't overpriced. It seems that I need a cover charge. Entertainment produces motive. Either it's the price or royalty . I mean atmosphere is right below the cloud of smoke. Mirrors break . Three tables. Three hundred people. Those shots came outta car. My baby's sitting. Two four maybe next tour . Money talks. My sister clowning second shift. I been fucking quiet. Watch my kids. They our children. Are nt they . My extras weren't free . No quero mucha nada . All right
"What kinda man are you?"
I ain't no good... I'mma no good bastard! My mama told you I wasn't shit!!!
She was mad forreal busted his windshield on that new cadillac
😎🔥rip brother
Thanks for sharing😊
That piano sound at the beginning definitely came from the church!!!
OMG I love her voice in this!!!
I love this song
This reminds me of a song I used to sing in choir called The Uncloudy day"
Thanks for putting this out on YouTube! Mary Ann Fisher's voice gives me goose bumps - the most underrated artist of her time in my opinion.
Perfect. ❤
Real shit
Feel they wrist to see if they fine😂😂😂😂😂
The arm mmmmm he did a good job he would have picked my mom.
I love their voices. Such good music compared to today with these rappers talking about killing and death lol
Side Chick anthem😂😂😂
You can always tell when a woman is singing about pain or a man. She sings like her life depends on it
they all knew he was married but she was the smart one because she left Marjorie got all caught up knocked up drugged up and then passed away
Ray got plenty pussy back then
The 🎶 music is gospel and the lyrics are sensuous and seductive!
my fav ray charles hit the road jake
THIS IS MY SONG REACHING OUT TO JESUS AND GOD 2 BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASTRARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!COWARDS!!!!!!!
My girl broke a couple of windows on his Twinkie mobile.
SING IT GIRL SING IT!
Maryanne is lucky Ray Charles had a wife like Della for a wife.She really could sing, I loved when she threw that brick in Ray’s car and she when she told Margie “ we talking about singing not hog calling” LOL!!
This song reminds me of Fallout 3
Ms. Hendrix voice much better...and unique...
The movie "RAY" brought me here.
Same here
Narvia Williams same
Ty post. I play this sing 10 times a day I can't get enough of her amazing voice and I love Rays acoustic piano. Great combo bluesy and Sioulful. seen Ray the movie 50 times or more Jamie Foxx channeled Ray to play that part . He deserved Oscar. Made me fall in love with Ray Charles And his Music
I love this song. It definitely has that old Baptist feel to it
Thank you for sharing -- always loved this song!
This song touches my soul
This song is everything... Gospel twist... MISSING Ray
i ben singing the song is in my head
My father saw Ray in concert, and the introduced Mary Ann Fisher as his wife. She was from my home state of Kentucky!
I've read that Mary Ann moved to Louisville, where she was already known as a local celebrity.
Ray slept with his back up singers... But he wasn’t leaving his Bee fa nobody... well he did love the other woman she had a baby for him
SHANNA DIXON he cared about margie...he LOVED DELLA BEE
He had a couple kids by marry Ann as well...I believe that's who he went back to after his wife left him
If Her voice don't sing the pride smooth off a nigga, he's either deaf or cold
That opening riff...Yes Lord Brotha Ray sure knew how to grab a lady's wrist!!! HE PUT IT ON HER LOL, Miss Mary Ann Fisher.
Aunjanue Ellis played MaryAnn Fisher. Regina King portrayed Margie Hendricks
what kind of man are you was performed by Ray Charles and Mary Ann Fisher I like this song it's so good to listen too and to dance too it should be a slow dance song Ray Charles and Mary Ann Fisher did a good job on this song stevinskie😎😎😎

richielothian - 100% agreement! Thanks for posting her finest recording. "Solid Sender" never fit anyone more. She's another awesome, obscure talent who leaves us eternally hungry...
What is the name of this music style? It's wonderful!

Wow! I can't believe she's still alive at the blessed age of 94.
I thought she died in the movie and left ray charles child behind
@lala no that was Margie Hendricks.
lala no I thought that too
She died in 2004 at 81
@Nunya Bizz she died in 2004
Pure smooth soul voice
Love it xXx
Can't find live performances by the real Mary Anne Fisher
I don't know if they're live performances, but check out Mary Ann (no e) Fisher, there's selections all over Youtube.
Ray Charles had glaucoma
Wendy Risoli bbking bbkingbbkong
Wendy Risoli bn
i love this song ,she is singing her heart out and the backup is doing a great job of harmonizing pulling the whole song together
Sing it Mary Ann!
Ray was so churchy. You can hear the gospel influence in this all day long
her voice gives me goosebumps.
💨💨💨
Que voz tan fantástica
a Fantastic recording..!! Mary Ann kicks it UP
was she the one who played MARGIE. AND OVERDOSED
A sultry, challenging question.
Totally awesome, a hidden gem in the music world. If the movie "Ray" had not have come out, none of us would know about this great lady singer.
Mary Ann Fischer...the queen bee from The 'Ville (Louisville)!
simplemente me encanta!
An amazing voice MaryAnn has
I agree with the looks! Not to mention the quality and style! Ironically, Master Ray had a good Eye for a looker!
Thanks!
THat mmmmmm hmmmmmm
i love this song wow
edward oldman 5.
Mary Ann had a great pitching arm when she threw that a brick at Ray's new Buick.
That was an Oldsmobile not a Buick
Lol!!! lmao
+Ricky Lewis it was a Cadillac

The actor for bee tho
thanks for sharing
Dude a genius. He wrote a song for her describing the shit he was doing to her. He opened her eyes for her 😂 he so wrong. I love it
“Opened his eyes” 🙃
He wasn't born blind, but you ain't wrong lol
Quita Gray you are so right that's true shit you talking about right here
Cxddsa8
Mary ann is a lot prettier than Margie....
daniel jacobs what I just said jackass
Arnold hey yes its si true i love a lot this song
On the 🎥 " Ray" it shows Margie Hendricks dying at an early age, right after leaving the "Rayletts." However, the movie didn't reveal that Mary Ann Fisher had moved back to Kentucky, where she performed her solo acts until her death in 2004.
Prettier & all, they were both on the same side chick boat
Damn! Ray could be a cold ass bastard as Margie Hendricks implied in Ray(2004) Check out the scene between Jamie Foxx & Anjuane Ellis when he started paying more attention to Margie Hendricks (Regina King) than Mary Ann! Smashes the window of his car then hails a taxicab and hi tails it outta there!
Augusto and Naomi, the woman singing this song is Mary Ann Fisher not Margi Hendrix, she sang lead or the vocal response to the song Hit The Road Jack ,according to the movie, Margi and the group The Cookies came later and became the Raelettes later while recording and touring with him
poor girls..... ray still the shit though
