A Woman Is A Sometime Thing lyrics

Jake

(to clara)

What, that chile aint asleep yet? give him to me.

Ill fix him for you.

(jake takes the baby from clara)



Lissen to yo daddy warn you,

fore you start a-travelling,

Woman may born you, love you and mourn you,

But a woman is a sometime thing,

Yes, a woman is a sometime thing.



Mingo

Oh, a woman is a sometime thing.



Jake

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.



Sporting life

Oh, a woman is a sometime thing.



Jake

Dont you never let a woman grieve you

Jus cause she got yo weddin ring.

Shell love you and deceive you,

Take yo clothes and leave you

cause a woman is a sometime thing.



All

Yes, a woman is a sometime thing.

Yes, a woman is a sometime thing,

Yes, a woman is a sometime thing.



Jake

There now, what I tells you; hes asleep already.



(baby wails)

(men at crap game laugh).
