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
