Nat Stuckey - Sweet Thang lyrics

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 thing runnin' 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 seen Sweet Thing? I got a notion he'll be headed this way 'Cause when my Sweet Thing's out tomcattin' around He finds a sandbox like this to play I wanna tell all you barroom roses If my Sweet Thing does happen by You'd better take my advice And if you blink more than twice You'd better have something in your eye" I give my baby all my money on payday Except a little she don't know that I got 'Cause there's a cute little waitress Down at the corner café And she seems to like me quite a lot Well, we were sittin' in this back booth a-havin' a talk And she's believin' 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 seen my Sweet Thing? I got a notion he'll be headed this way 'Cause when my Sweet Thing's out tomcattin' around He finds a sandbox like this to play I want to tell all you café cuties If my Sweet Thing should have a bite You'd better take mom's advice And if you blink more than twice You'd better have something in your eye Yes, you take ol' mum's advice If you blink more than twice You'd better have something in your eye"
