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
