Tennessee Toddy - Marty Robbins[00:00:01]
Well me and my baby was a walking down the road[00:00:07]
Just a hopping along like two little toads[00:00:11]
I looked down at her I said what can we do[00:00:14]
She said let's go someplace where we can hop to the blues[00:00:16]
I said I don't know a place where we can do such a thing[00:00:20]
She said I know a place and man it's just a dream[00:00:23]
It's just a little spot on the outside of town[00:00:26]
Where we can really pick them up and put them down[00:00:29]
So we went yeah where was gone gone along gone[00:00:33]
And I'll tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song[00:00:39]
So we went to a place called everybody's[00:00:46]
I met a little chick called the tennessee toddy[00:00:49]
The reason she was called the tennessee toddy[00:00:52]
Was that she was all legs with a little bitty body[00:00:55]
But that cat could go yeah she was gone gone along gone[00:00:58]
And I'll tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song[00:01:05]
She was long and lean like a green string bean[00:01:11]
Calm and collected and cool and keen[00:01:14]
She was all of this and a whole lot more[00:01:18]
When my baby saw me watching her she threw me out the door[00:01:21]
And we were gone yeah we were gone gone along gone[00:01:24]
I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song[00:01:30]
I took my baby home and she said good night[00:01:56]
She said be real good and sleep real tight[00:01:59]
I rushed right back to everybody's[00:02:02]
Cause I had to get acquainted with the tennessee toddy[00:02:05]
So I left yeah I was gone gone along gone[00:02:09]
And I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song[00:02:15]
I was back there jumpin with toddy at three[00:02:21]
When in walked a gent twice as big as me[00:02:24]
He looked real mean and mad and sore[00:02:28]
He made for me and I made for the door[00:02:31]
Just a running yeah I was gone gone along gone[00:02:34]
I'll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song[00:02:40]
Well I didn't know that toddy had a man of her own[00:02:47]
Made out of nothin' but a muscle and bone[00:02:50]
I know I'd rather have a baby instead[00:02:53]
But that big ape would knocks on my head[00:02:56]
So I left there yeah I was gone gone long gone[00:02:59]
Well there ain't no more so this is the end of my song[00:03:06]
