Sweet Thang Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washin' her hair 

And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come lookin' for me 

When she finds that I'm not there 

And if she catches her sweet thang runnin' around 

I know there'll be the devil to pay 

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

And I can hear exactly what she'll say 

Well has anybody here see 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 want to tell all you barroom roses if my sweet thang does have a bite 

You'd better take my advice and if you'll blink more than twice 

You'd better have somethin' in your eyes 

I gave my baby all my money on payday except a little she don't know that I got 

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

And she seems to like me quite a lot 

While we were sittin' in the back booth a havin' a talk 

She believed in every word that I said 

When the door blew open Loretta walked in yellin' loud enough to wake the dead 

Well has anybody here see sweet thang... 

You'd better take my advice...
