Listen to your daddy warn you
'Fore you start a-travellin'
Woman may born you
Love you and mourn you
But a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Mammy is the first to name you
And she'll tie you to her apron string
Then she'll shame you and she'll blame you
'Til your 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
Just 'cause she's got your weddin' ring
She'll love you and deceive you
Then she'll take your 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
Sometime thing
