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
