Right now let's welcome back to our microphone Miss Loretta Lynn, ladies and gentlemen.
[B] Loretta, you have a big hit song [C#m] recorded with Ernest Tubb called Sweet Thing.
[B] I'd like very [N] much to introduce you folks to the Texas troubadour, Ernest Tubb.
Make him welcome.
Like I said, I would like to, but Ernest is not here yet.
He'll be here a little later on tonight.
I'm going to do Ernest's part on Sweet Thing.
Teddy's going [A] to sing Ernest's part and Teddy and Loretta's going to do Sweet Thing for you, alright?
I slipped out of the house about [Bm]
sundown
[A] [D] Mama was a-washing [A] her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come looking for me
When [B] she finds that I'm not [E]
there
[E] And if [A] she catches her sweet thing running around
[D] I know there'll be the devil [A] to pay
[D] She'll come blowing like a cyclone [A] through that [F#] door
And [B] I can hear [E] exactly what [A] she'll say
[D]
[G]
She'll know where you're headed [D] just the way you're running around
He'll [E] find you like [A] just a prank
He [Em] [D]
knows this [G] if sweet thing does [D] happen by
He'd [G] better take my advice than [D] dip your blank [B] more than [D]
[E] [A] put in [D] your eye
[E]
I [A] give my baby all my money on payday
[D] Except the little she don't know that [A] I got
And there's a few little witches right out the corner
And [B] she seems to like me [E] quite a [G] lot
Well, [A] we were sitting in this back booth having a talk, right Ernest?
[D] She's believing every word that [A] I said
[D] And the door blew open, [A] and the door [F#] ran a-rotten
[B] Yelling loud enough [E] to wake [A] the dead
Well, [D] if anybody hears these things out [G] of the ocean
He'll be headed just [D] the way
[E]
[A] [D]
[G] you're running around
If a sweet thing does [D] happen by
He'd [G] better take my advice than [D] dip your blank more [B] than [E] put [A] in your [D] eye
She ain't [Am] kidding [B] either
He'd better [G] take my advice than dip [D] your blank [B] more than [E] [A] put in [D] your eye
Come [N]
here, Ernest.
Come on, Ernest.

Cooper won't care.

I give my baby all my money on [A] payday
[D] Except the little she don't [A] know that I got
There's a cute little waitress at the corner cafe
[B] And she seems to like me [Em] quite a [B] lot
We [A] were sitting in this back booth having a talk
She's [D] believing every word [A] that I said
[D] When the door blew open, [A] [F#] Loretta walked in
[B] Yelling loud enough [E] to [A] wake the dead
If [F] anybody [D] hears these things out of the ocean
[G]
He'll be headed [D] just the way you're running around
Alright, Leslie.
