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?
