Hey Me, Hey Mama

Papa's in the kitchen Mama's in the field Murder in the hen house, mud flung high upon the hill Oh, rooster in the dooryard, just leaning on the horn With the wind so sweetly blowing through the ripening corn Hey me Hey Mama Where you been For so long, for so long? Hey me Hey Mama Where you been? Where you been for so long? There's something outrageous 'bout that evening sky Just this side of dangerous, that look in your eye Knew you were crazy, always knew you could be cruel Still, I would do just about anything in the world for you Hey me Hey Mama Where you been For so long, for so long? Hey me Hey Mama Where you been? Where you been for so long? Left me standing in the corner with my head hanging down Punch-drunk, busted up, and reeling like a rodeo clown You always seem to hit me like a lightning from above Guess, I just wasn't ready for such a heavy-handed love Hey me Hey Mama Where you been, oh, now For so long, for so long? Hey me Hey Mama Where you been? Where you been for so long?
