Tell Ole I Ain't Here, He Better Get On Home

(Wayne Kemp)
 Well, I was playin' the pinball prayin' for a ten ball
 A cussin' that ole machine
 With a couple of girls a hangin' on my back
 Then the phone started ringin' and Moe started screamin'
 Hey Joe, it's your old lady and she's mad
 She let her fingers do the walkin' till she's found out where you're at.
 (And she said) tell ole I ain't here he better get on home
 Or else he's gonna find me and the baby gone
 If I have to come down after him he's gonna wish he'd come to the phone
 So tell ole I ain't here he better get on home.

 Well, the good Lard knows I love her but she don't understand
 Just how much I love this ole honky tonk atmosphere
 But when the telephone starts to ringin' it scares the hell right out of her man
 And I holler out loud if that's for me Moe tell her I ain't here.
 (But she said) tell ole I ain't here he better get on home
 Or else he's gonna find me and the baby gone
 If I have to come down after him he's gonna wish he'd come to the phone
 So tell ole I ain't here he better get on home.
 So tell ole I ain't here he better get on home...
