Hang Out The Front Door Key

Hang Out The Front Door Key - The Shelton Brothers/Wade Mainer

Percy Wilson Gay left his wife ever day

Then she'd always says be home on time

Don't have me a-waitin' here when dinner time comes near

Be here when we set down to dine

He promised her he would

Then he swore he'd be good

Percy never could quite settle down

For when his work was thru he'd find a friend or two

They would just play around the town

He called her on mounst treat the telephone

This is what he'd sing to her alone

Hang out the front door key love

Hang out the front door key

Don't you wait up for me love I may be out 'til three

I'm with a very sick friend love who'd do the same for me

Just leave a light in hte fall tonight

And hang out the front door key

One nigtht when he got home he found himself alone

Where she had gone he knew not where

Although it served him right he had an awful fright

To think he could not find her there

She called him up and three said yes dear this is me

How does it seem to be at home all alone

I'm with some freinds of mine

Having so good a time

I don't know just when I'll be home

On the table he found a little note

He poened it and this is what it wrote

Hang out the front door key love

Hang out the front door key

Set upb awhile for me love just as I have for thee

I'm with a very sick friend love who thinks a lot of me

Your little wife's gonna like night life

So hang out the front door key
