From Four Till Late

From four till late
I was wringin my hands and cryin
From four till 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 hour ride
From Memphis to Norfolk
Is a thirty six hour ride
A mans like a prisoner
And he's never satisfied
A woman is like a dresser
Some man is always ramblin through its drawers
A woman is like a dresser
Some man is always ramblin through its drawers
It cause so many men
Wear an apron overhaul
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 mans reputation down
When I leave this town
I'm 'onna bid you fare
Farewell
When I leave this town
I'm 'onna bid you fare
Farewell
And when I return again
You'll have a great long story to tell
