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...
