George Jones Sweet Thang Lyrics

Sweet Thang Lyrics

Well, I slipped out of the house about sundown

While mama was a washing her hair

And you can bet your bottom dollar

She'll come a lookin' for me

When she finds that I'm not there



And if she catches her sweet thang a running around

I know there'll be the debit to pay

She'll come blowin' like a cyclone through that door

And I can hear exactly what she'll say



Well, has anybody here seen sweet thang

I got a notion he'll be headed this-a way

'€˜Cause when my sweet thang is out tomocattin' around

He finds a sandbox like this to play



I wanna tell all you barroom roses

If my sweet thang does happen by

You'd better take my advice

And if you blink more than twice

You'd better have something in your eyes



Well, I gave my baby money on payday

Except a little she don't know that I've got

'€˜Cause there's a cute little waitress down at the corner cafe

And she seems to like me quite a lot



Well, we were sittin' in this back booth a havin' a talk

And she's believed in every word that I said

When the door blew open and mama walked in

Yellin' loud enough to wake the dead



Well, has anybody here seen sweet thang

I got a notion he'll be headed this-a way

'€˜Cause when my sweet thang is out tomocattin' around

He finds a sandbox like this to play



I wanna tell all you cafe cutie's

If my sweet thang should have a bite

You'd better take mom's advice

If you'll blink more than twice

You'd better have something in your eyes



You take all mom's advice

If you'll blink more than twice

You'd better have something in your eyes
