[A] [B] [E] [A]
I slipped out of the house about sundown [D] while mama was a [A]-washing her hair.
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come looking for me [B] when she finds that I'm [E] not there.
And [A] if she catches her sweet thing running around, [D] I know there'll be the devil [A] to pay.
She'll [D] come blowing like a cyclone [A] right through that [F#] door, and I [B] can hear exactly [E] what she'll [A] say.
Well, [D]
I got a [G] notion he'll be headed this [D]-a way.
Cause when my sweet thing is out to [E] find the sandbox, just [A] to play [D]
roses.
If [G] my sweet thing does [D] happen by, [Bm] you'd [G] better take my advice.
And [D] if you blink more [B] than five [E] [A] in your [D]
eye.
[D#] [E] I [A] give my baby all my money on payday, [D] except a little she don't know that [A] I got.
Cause there's a cute little waitress at the corner cafe, [B] and she seems to like me [E] quite a lot.
While [A] we were sitting in this back booth, I'm having a talk, and [D] she's believing every word
that [A] I said.
When [D] the door blew open, [A] Loretta walked [F#] in yelling [B] loud enough [E] to wake [A] the dead.
Well, [D]
[G] I got a notion he'll be headed this [D]-a way.
Cause when my sweet thing is out to find [E] the sandbox, just [A] to play [D]
roses.
If [G] my sweet thing does [D] happen by, you'd [G] better take my advice.
And if [D] you blink more [B] than five [E] [A] in your [D]
eye.
She ain't kidding.
