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?
