I wrote you long love letters, Mama, I sent ′em on day by day

Need you now even more than I did before

As I'm lookin′, here's your Daddy comin'

With a big ole shotgun too

Lovin′ situtation look mighty poor

So if′in you're really wonderin′ what I'm doin′ in your backyard

I told you, Baby, I'd beat it home so soon

But if you′re really worryin' 'bout what I′m doin′ in your backyard

Come on out later, I'll show you by the light of the moon

I had some dreams and fortune really, Mama, I got carried away

And lookin′ back even more than I did before

As I'm leapin′, creepin', hidin′, sleepin' here's your Daddy with a shotgun too

My lovin′ situtation ain′t nothin' but poor

So if′in you're really worried ′bout what I'm doin′ in your backyard

I told you, Baby, I's beatin' it home so soon

Well, if you′re really worryin ′bout what I' m doin′ in your backyard

Come on out later, I'll show you by the light of the moon

Baby, thinkin′ 'bout really might be wonderin′ why I'm standin' here cryin′, Honey, lookin′ in your backyard

Don't ya worry ′bout nothin', ya got nothin′ on your mind but me

But as I'm layin′ on my back about, thinkin' 'bout summertime gettin′ back all the way

Everything I see, a-honey, reminding me

Come on get your lovin′ man, come on get him while he's hot, get him on the run

Babe, I here your lookin′ but really too blind to see, oh, but hey, what ya gonna think

About wham-bam, thank you Maam, where you goin' on the Wildwood trail

Everything I see, a-honey, reminding me

Baby, might be thinkin′ 'bout, really livin′ back, layin' back, standin' in your backyard

Told you, baby, I′s beatin′ it home so soon

If you're really wonderin′ what I'm doin′ in your backyard

Come on out later, babe, I'll show you by the light of the moon
