Hey Me, Hey Mama Songtext / Lyric

Papa's in the kitchen,

Mama's in the field

There's a murder in the henhouse

Mud flung high upon the wheels



Ol' rooster in the dooryard

He's just leanin' on the horn

With the wind so sweetly driftin'

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






I 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?



You left me standin' in the corner

With my head so hangin' down

Punch-drunk, busted up and reelin'

Like a rodeo clown



You always seem to hit me

Like a lightnin' from above

I 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?
