Sweet Thang

I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washin' her hair

And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll be lookin' for me

When she finds that I'm not there

And if she catches her sweet thang out running around

I know there'll be the debit to pay

She'll come blowin' like a cyclone through that door

And I can hear exactly what she'll say

Well has anybody here see my sweet thang I had a notion he was 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 roses now if my sweet thang should happen by

You'd better take a mom's advice if you'll blink more than twice

You'd better have something in your eyes

Now she takes all my money on payday except a little she don't know I got

Cause there's a sweet little waitress at the corner cafe

Who seems to like me quite a lot

Now we're sittin' in the back booth just a havin' a talk

She's hangin' on every word that I said

Well when the door blew open Lord and mama walked in

Yellin' loud enough to wake the dead

Oh well has anybody here see my sweet thang...

You'd better take all my advice if you'll blink more than twice

You'd better have something in your eyes
