[D] [G]
[C] Well, I was playing the pinball, praying for a ten ball, a-cussing that old [F] machine, [G] with
a couple of girls a-hanging on my [C] back.
[G] Then [C] the phone started ringing and Mo started screaming, [F] Hey Joe, it's your old lady and she's mad.
She [G] let her finger do the walking, till she found out where [C] you're at.
And she said, Tell old I ain't here, he better get [F] on home, [G] or else he's gonna find me and
the baby [C] gone.
[G] [C] If I had to come down after him, he's [F] gonna wish he'd have come to the phone.
[G] So tell old I ain't here, he better get [C] on home.

[G#] [C#] Well, the good Lord knows I love her, but she don't [F#] understand, [G#] just how much I love
this old honky-tonk [C#] atmosphere.
[G#] But [C#] when the telephone starts to ringing, it [F#] scares the hell right out of her man.
[G#] And I holler out loud, If that's for me, Mo, tell her I [C#] ain't here.
Tell old I ain't here, he better get [F#] on home, [G#] or else he's gonna find me and the [C#] baby gone.
