hey baby where you been

well

they took all my clothes and they took all my money

told me dirty jokes

not a damn one funny

been all right if they'd of seen my honey

hey baby

where you been

well

i wear big britches and i walk real tall

i'm eatin' sweet potatoes

if i'm eatin' much at all

wake up in the mornin' just a talkin' to the wall

hey baby

where you been

and all my life i tried so hard to find

but you just kept runnin' round and round my mind

build me a rainbow

tall and high

sit me in the clouds

eatin' moonbean pie

walk across the valley just to hear you sigh

hey baby

where you been

well

long tall billy with his blue suede shoes

he's walkin' round the corner with the fort worth blues

woulda bet a dollar but he mighta had to lose

hey baby

where you been

and i can't go north 'cause i can't stand snow

i start drinkin' heavy when the cold winds blow

better stick around for just one last show

sayin' hey baby

where you been

i walked until my heart was black and blue

searchin' for a trace or sight of you

build me a rainbow

tall and high

sit me in the clouds eatin' moonbean pie

walk across the valley just to hear you sigh

hey baby

where you been

hey baby

where you been
