[Verse 1]
Listen to your daddy warn you
'Fore you start a-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 mama is first to name you
And she'll tie you to her apron string
Then she'll shame you and 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
Just 'cause she's got your wedding ring
She'll love you and deceive you
And she'll take your clothes and leave you
[Chorus]
'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 sometime thing
