I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washin' her hair |
|
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come lookin' for me |
|
When she finds that I'm not there |
|
And if she catches her sweet thang runnin' around |
|
I know there'll be the devil to pay |
|
She'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door |
|
And I can hear exactly what she'll say |
|
Well has anybody here see sweet thang I got a notion he'll be headed this a way |
|
Cause when my sweet thang is out tomocattin' around |
|
He finds a sandbox like this to play |
|
I wanna tell all you barroom roses if my sweet thang does have a bite |
|
You'd better take my advice and if you'll blink more than twice |
|
You'd better have somethin' in your eyes |
|
I gave my baby all my money on payday except a little she don't know that I got |
|
Cause there's a cute little waitress at the corner cafe |
|
And she seems to like me quite a lot |
|
While we were sittin' in the back booth a havin' a talk |
|
She believed in every word that I said |
|
When the door blew open Loretta walked in yellin' loud enough to wake the dead |
|
Well has anybody here see sweet thang... |
|
You'd better take my advice... |
