From four until late

I was wringing my hands and crying

From four until late

I was wringing my hands and crying

I believe to my soul

That your daddy's Gulfport bound

From four until late

She made me a no-good barroom clown

From four until late

She made me a no-good barroom clown

You know, she won't do nothing

But tear a good man's reputation down

A woman is like a dresser

Some man always running through its drawers

A woman is like a dresser

Some man always running through its drawers

She cause so many men

To wear an apron overall

When I leave this town

I will bid you fare farewell

When I leave this town

I will bid you fare farewell

And when I return again

You'll have a great long story to tell
