Papa's in the kitchen, mama's in the field   Murder in the hen house, mud flung high upon the wheels   Rooster in the dooryard just leaning on the horn   Wind so sweetly drifting 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   This side of dangerous that look in your eye   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?      Left me standing in the corner with my head so hanging down   Punch drunk, busted up and reeling like a rodeo clown   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 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?
