Well they took all my clothes and they took all my moneyTold me dirty jokes, not a damn one funnyBeen alright if they'd of seen my honeyHey baby where you been
Well I wear big britches and I walk real tallI'm eatin' sweet potatoes, if I'm eatin' much at allWake up in the mornin' just a talkin' to the wallHey baby where you been

Chorus 1:
And all my life I tried so hard to findBut you just kept runnin' round and round my mindBuild me a rainbow, tall and highSit me in the clouds eatin' moonbean pieWalk across the valley just to hear you sighHey baby where you been
Well long tall billy with his blue suede shoesHe's walkin' round the corner with the fort worth bluesWoulda bet a dollar but he mighta had to loseHey baby where you been
And I can't go north cause I can't stand snowI start drinkin' heavy when the cold winds blowBetter stick around for just one last showSayin' hey baby where you been

Chorus 2:
I walked until my heart was black and blueSearchin' for a trace or sight of youBuild me a rainbow, tall and highSit me in the clouds eatin' moonbean pieWalk across the valley just to hear you sighHey baby where you beenHey baby where you been
