Sweet Thang

Sweet Thang - Faron Young

Well I slipped out of the house about sundown

While mama was a washing her hair

And you can bet your bottom dollar

She'll come a lookin' for me

When she finds that I'm not there

And if she catches her sweet thang a running around

I know there'll be the debit to pay

She'll come blowin' like a cyclone through that door

And I can hear exactly 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 tomocattin' around

He finds a sandbox 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 blink more than twice

You'd better have something in your eyes

Well I gave my baby money on payday except a little

She don't know that I've got

Cause there's a cute little waitress down at the corner cafe

And she seems to like me quite a lot

Well we were sittin' in this back booth a havin' a talk

And she's believed in every word that I said

The When door blew open and

Mama 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 tomocattin' around

He finds a sandbox like this to play

I wanna you tell all cafe cuties

If my sweet thang should have a bite

You'd better take mom's advice if you'll blink more than twice

You'd better have something in your eyes

You take all mom's advice if you'll blink more than twice

You'd better have something in your eyes
