Well they took all my clothes and they took all my money
Told me dirty jokes, not a damn one funny

Been alright if they'd of seen my honey
Hey baby where you been


Well I wear big britches and I walk real tall
I'm eatin' sweet potatoes, if I'm eatin' much at all
Wake up in the mornin' just a talkin' to the wall

Hey baby where you been

Chorus 1:


And all my life I tried so hard to find
But you just kept runnin' round and round my mind

Build me a rainbow, tall and high
Sit me in the clouds eatin' moonbean pie
Walk across the valley just to hear you sigh

Hey baby where you been

Well long tall billy with his blue suede shoes

He's walkin' round the corner with the fort worth blues
Woulda bet a dollar but he mighta had to lose
Hey baby where you been


And I can't go north cause I can't stand snow
I start drinkin' heavy when the cold winds blow

Better stick around for just one last show
Sayin' hey baby where you been


Chorus 2:

I walked until my heart was black and blue

Searchin' for a trace or sight of you
Build me a rainbow, tall and high
Sit me in the clouds eatin' moonbean pie

Walk across the valley just to hear you sigh
Hey baby where you been
Hey baby where you been
