Roving Woman

[00:03.41] People say a roving woman
[00:09.65] is likely not to be better than she ought to be;
[00:14.26] so, when I stray away from where I've got to be,
[00:19.93] someone always takes me home.
[00:25.02] A lady never should habituate saloons,
[00:30.64] and that is where I find myself on many afternoons.
[00:36.02] But just as I begin to blow away the foam,
[00:41.47] someone tips his hat to me and takes me home.
[00:47.62] People say a roving woman
[00:53.04] is likely not to be better than she ought to be;
[00:57.83] so, when I stray away from where I've got to be,
[01:03.48] someone always takes me home.
[01:08.55] Now, poker is a game a lady shouldn't play,
[01:13.49] and every floatin' poker game just seems to float my way.
[01:19.35] But long before I've lost a thing besides my comb,
[01:25.89] someone tips his hand to me and takes me home.
[01:31.57] Don't see why they always do it -
[01:36.99] can't be vanity; must be sheer humanity -
[01:41.68] when some kind soul remarks with great urbanity:
[01:47.60] 'Lady, let me take you home.'
[01:52.93] Of course, there's bound to be some little aftermath
[01:58.37] that makes a pleasant ending for the straight and narrow path.
[02:03.76] And as I go to sleep, I cannot help but think
[02:09.37] how glad I am that I was saved from cards and drink.
[02:16.91] People say a roving woman
[02:22.65] is likely not to be better than she ought to be;
[02:27.52] so, when I stray, there's positively got to be
[02:33.48] someone there to take me home.
