From Four 'till Late

    From Four Till Late

    From four until late

      I was wringin' my hands and cryin'
    From four until late
      I was wringin' my hands and cryin'
    I believe to your soul
      that your daddy's Gulfport bound

    From Memphis to Norfolk

      is a thirty-six hours' ride
    From Memphis to Norfolk
      is a thirty-six hours' ride
    A man is like a prisoner
      and he's never satisfied

    A woman is like a dresser

      some man always ramblin' th'ough its drawers
    A woman is like a dresser
      some man always ramblin' th'ough its drawers
    It cause so many men
      wear an apron overhall
    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' reputation down

    When I leave this town

      I'm 'on bid you fare...farewell
    And when I leave this town
      I'm 'on bid you fare...farewell
    And when I return again
      you'll have a great long story to tell
