Well I slipped out of the house about sundown
[Bb] My mama was a-washing [F] her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come a-looking for me
[G] When she finds that I'm not there
And [F] if she catches her sweet thing a-running around
[Bb] I know there'll be the devil [F] to pay
She'll [Bb] come a-blowing like a [F] cyclone
Through that door [G] and I can hear exactly what she'll say
_ Well has anybody here seen my sweet thing?
I [C] got a notion he'll be heading [G] this way
Cause when my sweet thing's out tomcatting around
[A] He finds a sandbox [D] like this to play
[G] I want to tell all you barroom roses
[C] That if my sweet thing [G] does happen by
[C] You better take my advice
[G] And if you blink more than twice
You better have something in your eyes
[C] _ _ [G] _ _
[A] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ Well I give my baby money on payday
[Bb] Except a little she don't [F] know that I got
Cause there's a cute little waitress down at the corner cafe
[G] And she seems to like me [C] quite a lot
Well [F] we were sitting in this back booth
A-having a talk and [Bb] she's believing every word [F] that I say
[Bb] When the door blew open [F] and mama walked in
[G] Yelling loud enough to wake [F] her dead
_ [G] Well has anybody here seen my sweet thing?
I [C] got a notion he'll be heading [G] this way
Cause when my sweet thing's out tomcatting around
He [A] finds a sandbox like this [D] to play
I [G] want to tell all you cafe cuties
That if [C] my sweet thing should [G] happen by
You better [C] take mom's advice
And if you [G] blink more than twice
You better [A] have something in [G] your eyes
Yes you better [C] take old mom's advice
And if [G] you blink more than twice
You better [D] have something in [G] your eyes _
