Lyrics:

Listen 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 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
'Cause she got your weddin' ring
She'll love you and deceive you
She'll take your clothes and leave you
'Cause, yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Oh, a woman is a sometime thing

Listen to your daddy warn you
'Fore you start a travelling
Woman may born you, love you and mourn you
But, yes a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, 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 your woman comes to claim you
Yeah, a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing

And don't you never let a woman grieve you
'Cause she's got your weddin' ring
She'll love you and deceive you
She'll take your clothes and leave you
'Cause, yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
There now, what I tell you, he's asleep already
