F
Papa's in the kitchen,
G
Mama's in the field
           C
There's a murder in the henhouse
                          F
Mud flung high upon the wheels

     F
Ol' rooster in the dooryard
           G
He's just leanin' on the horn
          C
With the wind so sweetly driftin'
                      F
Through the ripening corn

F            G
Hey Me, Hey Mama
          C            F            C
Where you been for so long, for so long?
F            G
Hey Me, Hey Mama
           C                            F
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
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?
