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'll find that I'm not there
|
And if she catches her sweet thang slipping around
|
I know there'll be the debit to pay
|
Cause she'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door
|
And I hear exactly what she'll say
|
Well has anybody here see sweet thang I got a notion he'd be headed this way
|
Cause when my sweet thang's out tomocattin' around
|
Finds a sandbox like this to play
|
I wanna warn all you barroom roses if my sweet thang should have a bite
|
You'd better take my advice 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 little cute waitress down at the corner cafe
|
And she seems to like me quite a lot
|
We were sittin' in the back booth just a havin' a chair
|
And she believed in every word that I said
|
When that door blew open and mama walked in yellin' loud enough to wake the dead
|
And she said
|
Well has anybody here see sweet thang...
