Listen to yo daddy warn you
Fore you start a-traveling
Woman may born you, love you and mourn you
But a woman is a sometime thing
Yes a woman is a sometime thing

Yo mammy is the first to name you
Then shell tie you to her apron string
Then shell shame you and shell blame you
Till yo woman comes to claim you
Cause a woman is a sometime thing
Yes a woman is a sometime thing

Dont you never let a woman grieve you
Jus cause she got yo weddin ring
Shell love you and deceive you
Then shell take yo clothes and leave you
cause a woman is a sometime thing
Yes a woman is a sometime thing
