Lissen to yo` daddy warn you
`Fore you start a-travelling
Woman may born you, love you and mourn you
But a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Oh, 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
Oh, a woman is a sometime thing
Don`t you never let a woman grieve you
Just 'cause she got yo` weddin` ring
She`ll love you and deceive you
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
