From Four Until Late

From four until late I was wringin' my hands and cryin' From four until late I was wringin' my hands and cryin' I believe to my soul that your daddy's Gulfport bound From Memphis to Norfolk is a thirty-six hours' ride From Memphis to Norfolk is a thirty-six hours' ride A man is like a prisoner and he's never satisfied A woman is like a dresser some man always ramblin' th'ough its drawers A woman is like a dresser some man's always ramblin' th'ough its drawers It cause so many men wear an apron overhall From four until late she get with a no-good bunch and clown From four until late she get with a no-good bunch and clown Now, she won't do nothin' but tear a good man' reputation down When I leave this town I'm on' bid you fare... farewell And when I leave this town Bid you fare... farewell And when I return again you'll have a great long story to tell
