Sweet Thang
I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washin' her hairAnd you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come lookin' for meWhen she finds that I'm not thereAnd if she catches her sweet thang runnin' aroundI know there'll be the devil to payShe'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that doorAnd I can hear exactly what she'll sayWell has anybody here see sweet thang I got a notion he'll be headed this a wayCause when my sweet thang is out tomocattin' aroundHe finds a sandbox like this to playI want to tell all you barroom roses if my sweet thang does have a biteYou'd better take my advice and if you'll blink more than twiceYou'd better have somethin' in your eyesI gave my baby all my money on payday except a little she don't know that I gotCause there's a cute little waitress at the corner cafeAnd she seems to like me quite a lotWhile we were sittin' in the back booth a havin' a talkShe believed in every word that I saidWhen the door blew open Loretta walked in yellin' loud enough to wake the deadWell has anybody here see sweet thang...You'd better take my advice...
