hey me, hey mama
Papa's in the kitchen Mama's in the field There's a murder in the hen house Mud flung high upon the wheels  Ol' rooster in the dooryard He's just leanin' on the horn With the wind so sweetly driftin' Through the ripening corn  Hey me, hey mama Where you been for so long, for so long? Hey me, hey mama Where you been, where you been for so long?  There's something outrageous 'Bout that evening sky Just this side of dangerous That look in your eye  I always knew that you were crazy Always knew you could be cruel Still, I would do just about anything In the world for you  Hey me, hey mama Where you been for so long, for so long? Hey me, hey mama Where you been, where you been for so long?  You left me standin' in the corner With my head so hangin' down Punch-drunk, busted up and reelin' Like a rodeo clown  You always seem to hit me Like a lightnin' from above I guess I just wasn't ready for Such a heavy-handed love  Hey me, hey mama Where you been for so long, for so long? Hey me, hey mama Where you been, where you been for so long?  Hey me, hey mama Where you been for so long for so long? Hey me, hey mama Where you been, where you been for so long?
