Sweet Thang

Ernest Tubb Loretta Lynn

Album Singin’ Again

I slipped out of the house about sundown

While mama was a washin' her hair

And you can bet your bottom

dollar she'll come lookin' for me

When she finds that I'm not there

And if she catches her

sweet thang runnin' around

I know there'll be the devil to pay

She'll come blowin' like a

cyclone right through that door

And I can hear e actly what she'll say

Well, has anybody here seen sweet thang

I got a notion he'll

be headed this a way

'Cause when my sweet thang

is out tomcattin' around

He finds a sandbo like this to play

I wanna tell all you barroom roses

If my sweet thang does happen by

You'd better take my advice and

if you'll blink more than twice

You'd better have somethin' in your eye

I gave my baby all my money on payday

E cept a little she

don't know that I got

'Cause there's a cute little

waitress at the corner cafe

And she seems to like me quite a lot

While we were sittin' in the

back booth a havin' a talk

She's believin' every word that I said

When the door blew

open, Loretta walked in

Yellin' loud enough to wake the dead

Well, has anybody here seen sweet thang

I got a notion he'll

be headed this a way

'Cause when my sweet thang

is out tomcattin' around

He finds a sandbo like this to play

I wanna tell all you barroom roses

If my sweet thang does happen by

You'd better take my advice and

if you'll blink more than twice

You'd better have somethin' in your eye

(She ain't kiddin', neither!)

You'd better take my advice and

if you'll blink more than twice

You'd better have somethin' in your eye
