A Woman Is a Sometime Thing by George Gershwin Lyrics

[JAKE]
Listen to yo' daddy warn you
'Fore 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

[ROBBINS]
Oh, a woman is a sometime thing

[JAKE]
Yo' mammy is the first to name you
Then she'll tie you to her apron string
Then she'll shame you and she'll blame you
Till yo' woman comes to claim you
'Cause a woman is a sometime thing
Yes a woman is a sometime thing

[SPORTIN' LIFE]
Oh, a woman is a sometime thing
[JAKE]
Don't you never let a woman grieve you
Jus' 'cause she got yo' weddin' ring
She'll love you and deceive you
Then she'll take yo' clothes and leave you
'Cause a woman is a sometime thing
Yes a woman is a sometime thing

[JAKE AND VILLAGERS]
Yes a woman is a sometime thing
Yes a woman is a sometime thing

[JAKE]
There now, what I tell ya? He's asleep already
