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 finds that I'm not there

And if she catches her sweet thang runnin' around

I know there'll be the devil to pay

She'll come blowin' like a cyclone right 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 a way

'Cause when my sweet thang is out tom cattin' around

He finds a sandbox like this to play

I wanna tell all you bar room roses

If my sweet thang does happen by

You'd better take my advice and if you 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 cute little waitress at the corner cafe

And she seems to like me quite a lot

While we were sittin' in this back booth a havin' a talk

An' she believed in every word that I said

When the door blew open Loretta walked in

Yellin' loud enough to wake the dead

Well has anybody here seen sweet thang?

I got a notion he'll be headed this a way

'Cause when my sweet thang is out tom cattin' around

He finds a sandbox like this to play

I wanna tell all you bar room roses

If my sweet thang does happen by

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

You'd better have somethin' in your eyes

She ain't kiddin' either

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

You'd better have somethin' in your eyes
