A Woman Is A Sometime Thing
Lyrics by DuBose Heyward, Music by George Gershwin (c) 1935 by Gershwin Publishing Company
From Porgy and Bess
Arrangement by J.P. Befumo 2008
Listen to yo' daddy warn you, 'Fore you start a-travelin'.
Woman may born you, love you an' mourn you, But
A woman is a sometime thing, Yes, a woman is a sometime thing.
Yo' Mammy is the first to name you, An' 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.
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' clo'es an' 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!
