Sweet Thang Lyrics

I slipped out of the house around sundown
While Mama was washing her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar
She'll come looking for me
When she finds that I'm not there
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e70484-rhonda_vincent~sweet_thang_lyrics.html ]
And if she catches her sweet thang running around
I know there'll be the devil to pay
She'll come blowing 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 way
'Cause when my sweet thang's out tom-catting around
He finds a sandbox like this to play

I wanna tell all you barroom rosies
If my sweet thang does happen by
You'd better take my advice
'Cause 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 cafe
And she seems to like me quite a lot

Well, we were sitting in this back booth having a talk
And she's believing every word that I said
When the door blew open and mama walked in
Yelling loud enough to wake the dead

Well, has anybody here seen sweet thang
I got a notion he'll be headed this way
'Cause when my sweet thang's out tom-catting around
He finds a sandbox like this to play

I wanna tell all you barroom rosies
If my sweet thang does happen by
You'd better take my advice
'Cause if you blink more than twice
You'd better have something in your eye

You'd better take my advice
'Cause if you blink more than twice
You'd better have something in your eye
