(Nat Stuckey)      I slipped out of the house about sundown   While mama was a washin' her hair   And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come lookin' for me   When she'll find that I'm not there.      And if she catches her sweet thang slipping around   I know there'll be the debt to pay   'Cause she'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door   And I hear exactly what she'll say.      Well, has anybody here seen sweet thang   I got a notion he'd be headed this way   'Cause when my sweet thang's out tomcattin' around   Finds a sandbox like this to play.      I wanna warn all you barroom roses   If my sweet thang should have a bite   You'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice   You'd better have somethin' in your eyes.      I gave my baby all my money on payday   Except a little she don't know that I got   'Cause there's a little cute waitress down at the corner cafe   And she seems to like me quite a lot.      We were sittin' in the back booth just a havin' a chair   And she believed in every word that I said   When that door blew open and mama walked in   Yellin' loud enough to wake the dead.      And she said   Well, has anybody here see sweet thang   I got a notion he'd be headed this way   'Cause when my sweet thang's out tomcattin' around   Finds a sandbox like this to play.      I wanna warn all you barroom roses   If my sweet thang should have a bite   You'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice   You'd better have somethin' in your eyes...
