I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washing her hair
|
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come looking for me
|
When she finds that I'm not there
|
And if she catches her sweet thang out runnin' around
|
I know there'll be the debit to pay
|
She'll come blowing like a cyclone through that door
|
And I can hear exactly what she'll say
|
Well has anybody here seen sweet thang I got a notion he'll be headed this way
|
Cause when my sweet thang's out tomocattin' around
|
He finds a sandbox like this to play
|
I wanna tell all you barroom hosses 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 something in your eyes

I gave my baby all my money on payday except a little that she don't know that I got
|
Cause there's a cute little waitress at the corner cafe
|
And she likes those sugar boys quite a lot
|
While we were sittin' in this back booth a havin' a talk
|
She was believin' in every word that I said
|
When the door blew open and mama walked in yelling loud enough to wake the dead
|
Well has anybody here seen...
