Lyrics A Woman Is a Sometime Thing - Louis Armstrong

Jake
(To clara)
What, that chile aint asleep yet? give him to me.
Ill fix him for you.
(Jake takes the baby from clara)

Lissen to yo daddy warn you,
Fore you start a-travelling,
Woman may born you, love you and mourn you,
But A Woman Is A Sometime Thing,
Yes, A Woman Is A Sometime Thing.

Mingo
Oh, A Woman Is A Sometime Thing.

Jake
Yo mammy is the first to name you,
Then shell tie you to her apron string,
Then shell shame you and shell blame you
Till yo woman comes to claim you,
Cause A Woman Is A Sometime Thing,
Yes, A Woman Is A Sometime Thing.

Sporting life
Oh, A Woman Is A Sometime Thing.

Jake
Dont you never let a woman grieve you
Jus cause she got yo weddin ring.
Shell love you and deceive you,
Take yo clothes and leave you
Cause A Woman Is A Sometime Thing.

All
Yes, A Woman Is A Sometime Thing.
Yes, A Woman Is A Sometime Thing,
Yes, A Woman Is A Sometime Thing.

Jake
There now, what I tells you; hes asleep already.

(Baby wails)
(Men at crap game laugh).
