Lyrics:

Yes, lissen to your daddy warn you
'Fore you start travelling
Woman may born you, love you and mourn you
But a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing

Your mammy is first to name you
And she'll tie you to her apron string
Then she'll shame you, she'll blame you
Till 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
'Cause she's got your weddin' ring
She'll love and deceive you
Take your clothes and leave you
'Cause, yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Oh, a woman is a sometime thing

Yes, lissen to your daddy warn you
'Fore you start travellin'
Woman may born you, love you and mourn you
But, yes, woman is a sometime thing
Yes, woman is a sometime thing

Your mammy is first to name you
And she'll tie you to her apron string
Then she'll shame you, she'll blame you
Till your woman comes and claim you
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing

Ah, Don't you never let a woman grieve you
'Cause she's got your weddin' ring
She'll love and deceive you
She'll take your clothes and leave you
'Cause, yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a, a woman is a sometime...

There now, what I tell you; he's asleep already
