Ernest Tubb and Loretta Lynn Miscellaneous Sweet Thang (1967) I slipped out of the house about sundown While mama was a-washing her hair And you can bet your bottom dollars she’ll come looking for me When she finds that I’m not there And if she catches her sweet thing a-running around I know there’ll be the devil to pay She’ll come a-blowing like a cyclone right through that door And I can her exactly what she’ll say Well has anybody here seen sweet thing I got a notion he’ll be headed this a-way Cause when my sweet thing is out tom-catting around He finds a sandbox like this to play I want to tell all you barroom roses If my sweet thing does happen by You’d better take my advice and if you blink more than twice You’d better have something in your eye I give all my money to my baby on payday Except the little she don’t know that I got Cause there’s a cute little waitress at the corner café And she seems to like me quite a lot Well we were sitting in this back booth a-having a talk And she’s believing every word that I said When the door blew open mama walked in Yeah loud enough to wake the dead Well has anybody here seen sweet thing I got a notion he’ll be headed this a-way Cause when my sweet thing is out tom-catting around He finds a sandbox like this to play I want to tell all you barroom roses If my sweet thing does happen by You’d better take my advice and if you blink more than twice You’d better have something in your eye She ain’t kidding either You’d better take my advice and if you blink more than twice You’d better have something in your eye |
