Sweet Thing
recorded by: Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn

I [A] slipped outta the house about sundown
While [D] mama was a-washin' her [A] hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar
She'll come lookin' for me
When she [B] finds that I'm not [E] there
And if she [A] catches her Sweet Thing runnin' around
I [D] know there'll be the devil to [A] pay
She'll come [D] blowin' like a cyclone
Right thru that [F#] door
And I can [B] hear exactly [E] what she'll [A] say

[nc] Well, has [D] anybody here seen Sweet Thing
I've got a [G] notion he'll be headed this a-[D] way
'Cause when my Sweet Thing is out tom-cattin' around
He finds a [E] sand box, like this, to [A] play
I wanta [D] tell all you barroom rosies
If my [G] Sweet Thing does happen [D] by
You'd better [G] take my advice
And if you [D] blink more than [B] Twice
You better [E] have somethin' [A] in your [D] eye

[A] I give my baby all my money on payday
Except a [D] little she don't know that I [A] got
'Cause there's a cute little waitress at the corner cafe
And she [B] seems to like me quite a [E] lot
Well, we were [A] settin' in this back booth, a-havin' a talk
And she's [D] Believin' ev'ry word that I [A] said
When the [D] door blew open, Loretta walked [F#] in
Yellin' [B] loud enough to [E] wake the [A] dead

(chorus)
LL-[nc] Well, has [D] anybody here seen Sweet Thing
I've got a [G] notion he'll be headed this a-[D] way
'Cause when my Sweet Thing is out tom-cattin' around
He finds a [E] sand box, like this, to [A] play
I wanta [D] tell all you barroom rosies
If my [G] Sweet Thing does happen [D] by
You'd better [G] take my advice
And if you [D] blink more than [B] Twice
You better [E] have somethin' [A] in your [D] eye

[spoken] She ain't kiddin' either
You better [G] take my advice
And if you [D] blink more than [B] twice
You better [E] have somethin' [A] in your [1] eye
