I slipped out of the house about sundown
C G
While mama was a washing her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar
She'll come looking for me
A7 D7
When she'll find that I'm not there

C G C

G D7 G
And I hear exactly what she'll say
Well has anybody here see sweet thang
C G
I got a notion he'd be headed this way
Cause when my sweet thang's out tomcatting around
A7 D7
Finds a sandbox like this to play
G

If my sweet thang should happen by
C G C

G D7 G

I gave my baby all my money on payday
C G
Except a little she don't know that I got
Cause there's a little cute waitress down at the corner cafe

C G C

Yelling loud enough to wake the dead
And she said
