"Sweet Thang" - Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn Track 1 of 12 on the album "Singin' Again" (1967) [Intro] D A F#7 B7 E7 A [Verse 1]
          A
I slipped out of the house about sundown

      D                      A
While Mama was a-washing her hair

            A
And you can bet your bottom dollar, she'll come looking for me

         B7                 E7
When she finds that I'm not there

           A
And if she catches her sweet thang running around

  D                             A
I know there'll be the devil to pay

            D                            A            F#7
She'll come blowing like a cyclone right through that door

          B7           E7          A
And I can hear exactly what she'll say
A7 [Chorus]
          D
Well, has anybody here seen sweet thang?

        G                             D
I got a notion he'll be headed this a-way

               D
'cause when my sweet thang is out tomcatting around

           E7                   A7
He finds a sandbox like this to play

        D
I wanna tell all you barroom roses

      G                       D
If my sweet thang does happen by

             G                         D               B7
You'd better take my advice and if you blink more than twice

             E7             A7      D    D D# E7
You'd better have something in your eye
[Verse 2]
          A
I give my baby all my money on payday

        D                             A
Except a little she don't know that I got

                 A
'cause there's a cute little waitress down at the corner cafe

        B7                       E7
And she seems to like me quite a lot

              A
Well, we were sitting in this back booth a-having a talk

            D                         A
And she's believing every word that I said

         D                 A            F#7
When the door blew open, Loretta walked in

        B7             E7       A
Yelling loud enough to wake the dead
A7 [Chorus]
          D
Well, has anybody here seen sweet thang?

        G                             D
I got a notion he'll be headed this a-way

               D
'cause when my sweet thang is out tomcatting around

           E7                   A7
He finds a sandbox like this to play

        D
I wanna tell all you barroom roses

      G                       D
If my sweet thang does happen by

             G                         D               B7
You'd better take my advice and if you blink more than twice

             E7             A7      D
You'd better have something in your eye (and she ain't kidding, neither!)

             G                         D               B7
You'd better take my advice and if you blink more than twice

             E7             A7      D N.C.
You'd better have something in your eye
D
