Testo Tennesse toddy Marty Robbins

Tennesse toddy

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, Lets go someplace where we can hop to the blues!
I said, I dont know a place where we can do such a thing.
She said, I know a place, and, man, its just a dream!
Its just a little spot on the outside of town
Where we can really pick em up and put em down!
So we went to a place called Everybodys
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, along gone,
And Ill 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, along gone,
And Ill 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 Everybodys
Cause I had to get acquainted with the Tennessee Toddy!
So I left, yeah, I was gone, gone, along gone,
And Ill tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song.
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,
Just a-runnin, yeah, I was gone, gone, along gone,
And there aint no more, so this is the end of my song...
