Lyrics

Listen to your daddy warn ya
'Fore you start a-travelin'
Woman may born ya
Love ya and mourn ya
But a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Oh, a woman is a sometime thing
Your mammy is the first to name ya
And she'll tie you to her apron string
Then she'll shame you and she'll blame ya
'Til your woman comes to claim ya
'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 ya
Just 'cause she got your wedding ring
She'll love you and deceive ya
Then she'll take her clothes and leave ya
'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
There now, what I tell ya?
He's asleep already
He got better sense than to listen to that nonsense
Come back, Jake, you make a better crap shooter
Written by: Dubose Heyward, George Gershwin
