From what I can find, it was written by Maurice Yvain, lyrics by Channing Pollack.
It was also Performed by Fanny Brice in the Zeigfield Follies (1921) as "Mon Homme (My Man)"
Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald also recorded this song

Actually, it's from the late 20's early 30's & it was sung first by Fanny Brice in the Zigfield Follies.

BILLIE HOLIDAY | My Man Lyrics
It cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man
It's my man
Cold or wet
Tired, you bet
All of this I'll soon forget
With my man
He's not much on looks
He's no hero out of books
But I love him
Yes, I love him
Two or three girls
Has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I don't know why I should
He isn't true
He beats me, too
What can I do?
Oh, my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just a spare
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I'm his forevermore

It might be Billie Holliday or Etta James.
