A Woman Is A Sometime Thing

(álbum: Porgy And Bess - 1959)

Listen to your daddy warn you
Before 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

Your mammy is the first to name you
She'll tie you to her apron strings
She'll shame you and she'll blame you
Till your woman comes to claim you
'Cause a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing

Don't you ever let a woman grieve you
'Cause she's got your wedding ring
She'll love you and deceive you
Take your clothes and leave you
'Cause a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing

Don't you, don't you, don't you ever let a woman grieve you
'Cause she's got your wedding ring
And she'll love you and deceive you
Take your vines and leave you
'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

A woman is a sometime thing
