A Woman is a Sometimes Thing (From "Porgy and Bess") - Harry Belafonte, Джордж Гершвин

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

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

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

Yes a woman is a sometime thing

Yes a woman is a sometime thing
