IF SUNG IN A; CHORDS ARE: [1=A/2=B/4=D/5-E/6=F#]
ET-I [1] slipped outta the house about sundown
ET-While [4] mama was a-washin' her [1] hair
ET-And you can bet your bottom dollar
ET-She'll come lookin' for me
ET-When she [2] finds that I'm not [5] there
ET-And if she [1] catches her Sweet Thing runnin' around
ET-I [4] know there'll be the devil to [1] pay
ET-She'll come [4] blowin' like a cyclone
ET-Right thru that [6] door
ET-And I can [2] hear exactly [5] what she'll [1] say
CHANGE TO D CHORD: [1=D/2=E/4=G/5=A/6=B]
LL-[nc] Well, has [1] anybody here seen Sweet Thing
LL-I've got a [4] notion he'll be headed this a-[1] way
LL-'Cause when my Sweet Thing is out tom-cattin' around
LL-He finds a [2] sand box, like this, to [5] play
LL-I wanta [1] tell all you barroom rosies
LL-If my [4] Sweet Thing does happen [1] by
LL-You'd better [4] take my advice
LL-And if you [1] blink more than [6] Twice
LL-You better [2] have somethin' [5] in your [1] eye
CHANGE BACK TO A: [1=A/2=B/4=D/5-E/6=F#]
ET-[1] I give my baby all my money on payday
ET-Except a [4] little she don't know that I [1] got
ET-'Cause there's a cute little waitress at the corner cafe
ET-And she [2] seems to like me quite a [5] lot
ET-Well, we were [1] settin' in this back booth, a-havin' a talk
ET-And she's [4] Believin' ev'ry word that I [1] said
ET-When the [4] door blew open, Loretta walked [6] in
ET-Yellin' [2] loud enough to [5] wake the [1] dead
