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 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 want to 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...
