Tennessee Toddy

Tennessee Toddy - Marty Robbins (马丁·罗宾逊)

Well me and my baby was a walking down the road

Just a hopping along like two little toads

I looked down at her I said what can we do

She said let's go someplace where we can hop to the blues

I said I don't know a place where we can do such a thing

She said I know a place and man it's just a dream

It's just a little spot on the outside of town

Where we can really pick them up and put them down

So we went yeah where was gone gone along gone

And I'll tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song

So we went to a place called everybody's

I met a little chick called the tennessee toddy

The reason she was called the tennessee toddy

Was that she was all legs with a little bitty body

But that cat could go yeah she was gone gone along gone

And I'll tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song

She was long and lean like a green string bean

Calm and collected and cool and keen

She was all of this and a whole lot more

When my baby saw me watching her she threw me out the door

And we were gone yeah we were gone gone along gone

I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song

I took my baby home and she said good night

She said be real good and sleep real tight

I rushed right back to everybody's

Cause I had to get acquainted with the tennessee toddy

So I left yeah I was gone gone along gone

And I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song

I was back there jumpin with toddy at three

When in walked a gent twice as big as me

He looked real mean and mad and sore

He made for me and I made for the door

Just a running yeah I was gone gone along gone

I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song

Well I didn't know that toddy had a man of her own

Made out of nothin' but a muscle and bone

I know I'd rather have a baby instead

But that big ape would knocks on my head

So I left there yeah I was gone gone long gone

Well there ain't no more so this is the end of my song
