She put on a red dress   And she let her long hair down   She put on a red dress   And she let her long hair down   Kissed goodbye to her baby   She went out to paint the town   She went out to paint the town      Mommy, oh dear mommy   Don’t you stay out all night long   Mommy, oh dear mommy   Don’t you stay out all night long   Me and daddy’s lonely for you   We both want you here at home   We both want you here at home      Don’t you cry little darlin’   Your mama be coming home soon   Don’t you cry little darlin’   Your mama be coming home soon   She’s painting the town tonight   Your mama’s howlin’ at the moon   She’s howlin’ at the moon      She went down to the honkey-tonk   She had two things on her mind   She went down to the honkey-tonk   She had two things on her mind   One was a man that she left at home   The other was a one that she hoped to find   Was the one she hoped to find   She’s a howlin’ at the moon
