Sweet Thang Lyrics - George Jones

(Nat Stuckey) 

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...
