[CLARA & CRAP SHOOTERS]
Summertime (Seven come, seven)
And the living is easy (Come to pappy)
Throw that beautiful number
Fish are jumpin' (Come seven to me)
And the cotton (Yeah, man)
Is high (I'll bet he's wrong! I'll bet he's right! Gettin' hot!)
Oh, your daddy's rich (Come seven! Shoot!)
And your ma is good lookin' (Made it! He made it!)
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry (Old man seven come down from heaven)
Don't you cry
[JAKE]
What, that child ain't asleep yet?
Give him to me
I'll fix him for you
Oh, listen to your daddy warn you
'Fore you start to traveling
Woman may born you
Lovе you and mourn you
But a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a somеtime thing
[MINGO]
Oh, a woman is a sometime thing
[JAKE]
Your mammy is the first to name you
Then she'll tie you to her apron string
Then she'll shame you and she'll blame you
'Til your woman comes to claim you
'Cause a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
[SPORTIN' LIFE]
Oh, a woman is a sometime thing
[JAKE]
Don't you never let a woman grieve ya
Just 'cause she's got your wedding ring
Oh, she'll love you and deceive ya
Take your clothes and leave ya
'Cause a woman is a sometime thing
[JAKE & ENSEMBLE]
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
Yes, a woman is a sometime thing
[ENSEMBLE]
Ah
