F
Well, I slipped out of the house about sundown
Bb F
While mama was a washing her hair
F
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come a lookin' for me
G7 C7
When she finds that I'm not there
F
And if she catches her sweet thang a running around
Bb F
I know there'll be the devil to pay
Bb F D
She'll come blowin' like a cyclone through that door
G7 C7 F F# G
And I can hear exactly what she'll say
[chorus]
G
Well, has anybody here see my sweet thang
C G
I got a notion he'll be headin' this way
G
'Cause when my sweet thang's out tom cattin' around
A7 D
He finds a sandbox like this to play
G
I wanna tell all you barroom roses
C G
That if my sweet thang does happen by
C G A7
You'd better take my advice if you blink more than twice
C D G
You'd better have something in your eye
C G A7 D G F# F
[verse 2]
F
Well, I gave my baby money on payday
Bb F
Except a little she don't know that I've got
F
'Cause there's a cute little waitress down at the corner cafe
G7 C7
And she seems to like me quite a lot
F
Well, we were sittin' in this back booth a havin' a talk
Bb F
And she's believen every word that I said
Bb F D
When the door blew open and mama walked in
G7 C7 F F# G
Yellin' loud enough to wake the dead
[chorus]
G
Well, has anybody here see my sweet thang
C G
I got a notion he'll be headin' this way
G
'Cause when my sweet thang's out tom cattin' around
A7 D
He finds a sandbox like this to play
G
I wanna tell all you barroom roses
C G
That if my sweet thang does happen by
C G A7
You'd better take my advice if you blink more than twice
C D G
You'd better have something in your eye...
