Sweet Thang

G

I slipped out of the house about sundown

C

G

While mama was a washing her hair

A7

D7

When she’ll find that I’m not there

G

And if she catches her sweet thang slipping around

C

G

I know there’ll be the devil to pay

C

G

C

Cause she’ll come blowing like a cyclone right through that door

G

D7

G

And I hear exactly what she’ll say

C

G

I got a notion he’d be headed this way

A7

D7

Finds a sandbox like this to play

G

I wanna warn all you barroom roses

C

G

If my sweet thang should happen by

C

G

C

You’d better take my advice if you blink more than twice

G

D7

G

You’d better have something in your eyes

C

G

Except a little she don’t know that I got

A7

D7

And she seems to like me quite a lot

G

We were sitting in the back booth just a having a chat

C

G

And she believed in every word that I said

C

G

C

When that door blew open and mama walked in

G

D7

G

Yelling loud enough to wake the dead

C

G
