lyrics

People say a roving woman
Is likely not to be better than she ought to be so
When I stray away from where I've got to be
Someone always takes me home

(Hannah:) A lady never should habituate saloons
But that is where I find myself on many afternoons
And just as I begin to blow away the foam
Someone tips his hat to me and takes me home

People say a roving woman
Is likely not to be better than she ought to be so
When I stray away from where I've got to be
Someone always takes me home

(Katherine:) Now poker is a game a lady shouldn't play
And every floating poker game just seems to float my way
But long before I've lost a thing besides my comb
Someone tips his hand to me and takes me home

Don't know why they always do it
Can't be vanity, must be sheer humanity
When some kind soul remarks with great urbanity
Lady let me take you home

Of course there has to be some little aftermath
To make the pleasant ending for the straight and narrow path
And as I go to sleep I cannot help but think
How glad I am that I was saved from cards and drink

People say a roving woman
Is likely not to be better than she ought to be so
When I stray there positively has to be
Someone there to take me home
