A Woman Is a Sometime Thing lyrics
by George Gershwin
[Verse 1]
Yes, listen to your daddy warn you
'Fore you start travelin'
Woman may born you
Love you and mourn you
[Chorus]
But a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
[Bridge]
Your mammy is first to name you
And she'll tie you to your apron string
Then she'll shame you, she'll blame you
'Til your woman comes to claim you
[Chorus]
'Cause a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
[Verse 2]
Don't you never let a woman grieve you
'Cause she's got your wedding ring
She'll love you and deceive you
She'll take your clothes and leave you
[Chorus]
'Cause, yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Oh, a woman is a sometime thing
[Trumpet Solo]
[Verse 1]
Yes, listen to your daddy warn you
'Fore you start travelin'
Woman may born you
Love you and mourn you
[Chorus]
But, yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
[Bridge]
Your mammy is first to name you
And she'll tie you to her apron strings
Then she'll shame you, she'll blame you
'Til your woman comes to claim you
[Chorus]
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
[Verse 2]
Don't you never let a woman grieve you
'Cause she's got your wedding ring
She'll love you and deceive you
She'll take your clothes and leave you
[Chorus]
'Cause, yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
[Outro]
There now, what I tell you
He's asleep already
