From four 'till late I was wringing my hands and cryin' (2x)
I believe to my soul that your daddy's Gulfport bound From Memphis to Norfolk is a thirty-six hour ride (2x) A man's like a prisoner and he's never satisfied
A woman is like a dresser Some man is always rambling through its drawers (2x)
It's 'cause so many men wear an apron overhaul
From four until late She get with a no-good bunch and clown (Repeat)
Now, she won't do nothin' But tear a good man's reputation down When I leave this town, I'm 'onna bid you fare, farewell (2x)
And when I return again You'll have a great long story to tell
