| Listen to yo' daddy warn you
|
| 'Fore you start a-traveling
|
| Woman may born you, love you and mourn you
|
| But a woman is a sometime thing
|
| Yes a woman is a sometime thing
|
| Yo' mammy is the first to name you
|
| Then she’ll tie you to her apron string
|
| Then she’ll shame you and she’ll blame you
|
| Till yo' woman comes to claim you
|
| 'Cause a woman is a sometime thing
|
| Yes a woman is a sometime thing
|
| Don’t you never let a woman grieve you
|
| Jus' 'cause she got yo' weddin' ring
|
| She’ll love you and deceive you
|
| Then she’ll take yo' clothes and leave you
|
| 'Cause a woman is a sometime thing
|
| Yes a woman is a sometime thing
|
| Yes a woman is a sometime thing
|
| Yes a woman is a sometime thing |
