Tennessee Toddy

Tennessee Toddy - Marty Robbins

Written by：Marty Robbins

Well me and my baby was a walking down the road

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 bop to the blues

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

She said I know that place and man its just a dream

Its just a little spot on the outside of town

Where we can really pick them up and put them down

So we went yeah we were gone gone along gone

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

Well we went to a place called everybodys

There I met a little chick called the Tennessee Toddy

The reason that they 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

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

Well 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

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

Well I took my baby home and she said good night

She said be real good and sleep real tight

But I rushed right back to everybodys

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 jumping 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

Well 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 nothing 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
