Well there used to be a time when woman was keen
To work for her man was a woman's only dream
Everything he did was perfectly alright
He needn't have to worry about a fossin' and a fight
Chorus:
It don't happen no more, that was long time ago
It's a pityful shame, how the world has changed
There used to be a time when a woman couldn't smoke
There used to be a time when a woman couldn't folk
She used to stay at home while the men went out to play
She was satisfied with life, any old way
chorus
(Solo)
There used to be a time when a woman couldn't cook
There used to be a time she didn't worry 'bout her looks
She used to sleep on stairs that she couldn't even drink
She even tried to tell her man how to think
