Well, me and my baby was a-walkin down the road

Just a-hoppin along like two little toads

I looked down at her; I said, What can we do?

She said, Lets go someplace where we can bop to the blues I said, I dont know a place where we can do such a thing"

She said, I know that place, and, man, its just a dream

Its just a little spot on the outside of town

Where we can really pick em up and put em down So we went yeah, we were gone, gone along gone

And Ill tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song Well we went to a place called Everybodys

There I met a little chick called the Tennessee Toddy

The reason she was called the Tennessee Toddy

Was that she was all legs with a little bitty body But that cat could go, yeah, she was gone, gone along gone

Well Ill tell you all about it in the very next verse of my song Well, 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

Well, Ill tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song Well I took my baby home and she said, Good night

She said, Be real good and sleep real tight!

But I rushed right back to Everybodys

Cause I had to get acquainted with the Tennessee Toddy So I left, yeah, I was gone, gone along gone

And Ill tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song. I was back there jumpin 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-runnin, yeah, I was gone, gone along gone

Well Ill tell you more about it in the very next verse of my song Well, I didn't know that Toddy had a man of her own

Made out of nothin' but a muscle and bone

I know I'd rather have a baby instead

But that big ape would knocks on my head So I left there, yeah I was gone, gone long gone

Well there ain't no more so this is the end of my song
