From four until 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 hours` ride (2x)
A man is like a prisoner, and he`s never satisfied
A woman is like a dresser, some man always ramblin` through its drawers (2x)
It cause so many men, wear an apron over-all
From four until late, she get with a no good bunch and clown (2x)
Now she won`t do nothin`, but tear a good man`s reputation down
When I leave this town, I`m gon` bid you fare, farewell (2x)
And when I return again, you`ll have a great long story to tell
