Marty Robbins - Tennessee Toddy lyrics
[Marty Robbins - Tennessee Toddy lyrics]
Well, me and my baby was
A-walkin' down the road
Just a-hoppin' along like two little toads
I looked down at her I said
"What can we do?" she said
"Let's go someplace where we can
Bop to the blues"
I said, "I didn't know a place where we
Can do such a thing"
She said, "I know a place, and, man
It's just a dream"
It's just a little spot on
The outside of town
Where we can really pick 'em
Up and put 'em down
So we went, yeah we was gone gone long gone
I'll tell you more about it in the
Very next verse of the song
So we went to a place called Everybody's
There I met a little chick
Called the Tennessee Toddy
The reason she was called the Tennessee Toddy
Was that she was all legs
With a little bitty body
But that cat could go, yeah
She was gone, gone, long gone
Well I'll tell you all about it in
The very next verse of my song
She was long and lean like
A green string bean
Calm and collected and cool and keen
She was all of this and a whole lot more
When my baby saw me watching her
She threw me out the door
And we were gone, yeah, we were gone
Long gone
And I'll tell you more about it in
The very next verse of my song
I took my baby home and she said
"Good night" she said
"Be real good and sleep real tight"
I rushed right back to Everybody's
'Cause I had to get acquainted
With the Tennessee Toddy
So we left there, yeah, I was gone, gone
Long gone
Well I'll tell you more about it in
The very next verse of my song
Well I was back there jumpin'
With Toddy at three
When in walked a gent twice as big as me
He looked real mean and mad and sore
He made for me and I made for the door
A-walkin' down the road
Just a-hoppin' along like two little toads
I looked down at her I said
"What can we do?" she said
"Let's go someplace where we can
Bop to the blues"
I said, "I didn't know a place where we
Can do such a thing"
She said, "I know a place, and, man
It's just a dream"
It's just a little spot on
The outside of town
Where we can really pick 'em
Up and put 'em down
So we went, yeah we was gone gone long gone
I'll tell you more about it in the
