From Four Until Late

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 Memphis to Norfolk

Is a thirty-six hour ride

From Memphis to Norfolk

Is a thirty-six hour ride

A man is like a prisoner

And he's never satisfied

A woman is like a dresser

Some man's always ramblin' through its drawers

A woman is like a dresser

Some man's 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 man's reputation down

When I leave this town

I'm 'onna bid you fare farewell

It's 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
