Sweet Thang Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I slipped out of the house about sundown
While mama was a-washing her hair, hehe
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come looking for me
When she'll find that I'm not there
And if she catches her sweet thang running around
I know there'll be the devil to pay
She'll come blowing like a cyclone through that door
And I can hear exactly what she'll say

[Chorus]
Well has anybody here seen sweet thang?
I got a notion he'll be headed this way
'Cause when my sweet thang's out tomcatting around
He finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna tell all you barroom roses
If my sweet thang does happen by
You better take my advice and if you blink more than twice
You better have something in your eye
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
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 down at the corner cafe
And she seems to like me quite a lot
Well we were sitting in this back booth a-having a talk, hehe
And she's believing every word that I said
When the door blew open and mama walked in
Yelling loud enough to wake the dead

[Chorus]
Well has anybody here seen my sweet thang?
I got a notion he'll be headed this way
'Cause when my sweet thang's out tomcatting around
He finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna tell all you cafe cuties
If my sweet thang should happen by
You better take mom's advice and if you blink more than twice
You better have something in your eye
Yes you take old mom's advice if you blink more than twice
You better have something in your eye
