Papa's in the kitchen, mama's in the field Murder in the hen house, mud flung high upon the wheels Rooster in the dooryard just leaning on the horn Wind so sweetly drifting 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 This side of dangerous that look in your eye Always knew that 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 so hanging down Punch drunk, busted up and reeling like a rodeo clown 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 for so long, for so long? Hey me, hey mama Where you been, where you been for so long? 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?
