Tennessee Toddy Lyrics

Artist: Marty Robbins
Album: Rock'n Roll'n Robbins [Columbia]

Well, me and my baby was a-walkinâ‚¬â„¢ down the road
Just a-hoppinâ‚¬â„¢ along like two little toadsâ‚¬
I looked down at her; I said, â‚¬Å“What can we do?â‚¬?
She said, â‚¬Å“Letâ‚¬â„¢s go someplace where we can hop to the blues!â‚¬?

I said, â‚¬Å“I donâ‚¬â„¢t know a place where we can do such a thingâ‚¬â‚¬?
She said, â‚¬Å“I know a place, and, man, itâ‚¬â„¢s just a dream!
Itâ‚¬â„¢s just a little spot on the outside of town
Where we can really pick â‚¬â„¢em up and put â‚¬â„¢em down!â‚¬?

So we went to a place called â‚¬Å“Everybodyâ‚¬â„¢sâ‚¬?
There I met a little chick called â‚¬Å“the Tennessee Toddyâ‚¬?â‚¬
The reason she was called â‚¬Å“the Tennessee Toddyâ‚¬?
Was that she was all legs with a little bitty body,
But that cat could go, yeah, she was gone, gone, along gone,
And Iâ‚¬â„¢ll tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song.

She was long and lean like a green string bean:
Calm and collected and cool and keen!
She was all of this and a whole lot more;
When my baby saw me watching her, she threw me out the door
And we were gone, yeah, we were gone, along gone,
And Iâ‚¬â„¢ll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song.

I took my baby home and she said, â‚¬Å“Good nightâ‚¬â‚¬?
She said, â‚¬Å“Be real good and sleep real tight!â‚¬?
I rushed right back to Everybodyâ‚¬â„¢s
â‚¬â„¢Cause I had to get acquainted with the Tennessee Toddy!
So I left, yeah, I was gone, gone, along gone,
And Iâ‚¬â„¢ll tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song.

I was back there jumpinâ‚¬â„¢ with Toddy at three
When in walked a gent twice as big as me
He looked real mean and mad and sore;
He made for me and I made for the door,
Just a-runninâ‚¬â„¢, yeah, I was gone, gone, along gone,
And there ainâ‚¬â„¢t no more, so this is the end of my songâ‚¬
