Artist: George Jones
[VERSE 1]
[F]Well, I slipped out of the house about sundown
[Bb]While mama was a washing her [F]hair
[F]And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come a lookin' for me
When she [G7]finds that I'm not [C7]there
And if she [F]catches her sweet thang a running around
I [Bb]know there'll be the devil to [F]pay
She'll come [Bb]blowin' like a cyclone th[F]rough that d[D]oor
And I can [G7]hear exactly w[C7]hat she'll sa[F]y [F#] [G]
[CHORUS]
Well, has [G]anybody here see my sweet thang
I got a [C]notion he'll be headin' this [G]way
[G]'Cause when my sweet thang's out tom cattin' around
He [A7]finds a sandbox like this to [D]play
I wanna [G]tell all you barroom roses
That if my [C]sweet thang does happen [G]by
You'd better [C]take my advice if you [G]blink more than [A7]twice
You'd better[C] have something[D] in your [G]eye
[C] [G] [A7] [D] [G] [F#] [F]
[VERSE 2]
[F]Well, I gave my baby money on payday
Except a l[Bb]ittle she don't know that I've [F]got
[F]'Cause there's a cute little waitress down at the corner cafe
And she [G7]seems to like me quite a [C7]lot
Well, we were [F]sittin' in this back booth a havin' a talk
And she's [Bb]believen every word that I [F]said
When the [Bb]door blew open and [F]mama walked [D]in
Yellin' [G7]loud enough to [C7]wake the [F]dead [F#] [G]
[CHORUS]
[G]Well, has anybody here see my sweet thang
I got a [C]notion he'll be headin' this [G]way
[G]'Cause when my sweet thang's out tom cattin' around
He [A7]finds a sandbox like this to [D]play
I wanna [G]tell all you barroom roses
That if my [C]sweet thang does happen [G]by
You'd better [C]take my advice if you [G]blink more than [A7]twice
