George Jones - Sweet Thang lyrics

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 devil 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 see my sweet thang I got a notion he'll be headin' this way 'Cause when my sweet thang's out tom cattin' around He finds a sandbox like this to play. I wanna tell all you barroom roses That if my sweet thang does happen by You'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice You'd better have something in your eye. 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 believen every word that I said When the door blew open and mama walked in Yellin' loud enough to wake the dead. Well, has anybody here see my sweet thang I got a notion he'll be headin' this way 'Cause when my sweet thang's out tom cattin' around He finds a sandbox like this to play. I wanna tell all you cafe cuties If my sweet thang should happen by You'd better take mom's advice if you'll blink more than twice You'd better have something in your eye. Yes, You take all mom's advice if you'll blink more than twice You'd better have something in your eye...
