Mel Tillis - Sweet Thang Lyrics

I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washing her hair

And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come looking for me

When she finds that I'm not there

And if she catches her sweet thang out runnin' around

I know there'll be the debit to pay

She'll come blowing like a cyclone 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 way

Cause when my sweet thang's out tomocattin' around

He finds a sandbox like this to play

I wanna tell all you barroom hosses if my sweet thang does have a bite

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

You'd better have something in your eyes

[ guitar ]

I gave my baby all my money on payday except a little that she don't know that I got

Cause there's a cute little waitress at the corner cafe

And she likes those sugar boys quite a lot

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

She was believin' in every word that I said

When the door blew open and mama walked in yelling loud enough to wake the dead

Well has anybody here seen...
