FPapa's in the kitchen,
GMama's in the field
There's a mCurder in the henhouse
Mud flung high upon the whFeels
Ol' rFooster in the dooryard
He's just lGeanin' on the horn
With the wCind so sweetly driftin'
Through the ripening cForn
FHey Me, Hey MGama
Where you Cbeen for so lFong, for so lCong?
FHey Me, Hey MGama
Where you bCeen, where you, been for so lFong?
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?

Chords in this song · guitar

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

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
