Tell Ole I Ain't Here, He Better Get on Home Songtext
von Moe Bandy & Joe Stampley

Well, I was playin′ the pinball, prayin' for a ten ball
A cussin′ at the ol' machine
With a couple of girls hangin' on my back
Then the phone started ringin′ and Moe started screamin′
"Hey Joe, it's your old lady, she′s mad"
She let her fingers do the walkin'
′Til she's found out where you′re at

And she said
"Tell Ole I ain't here, he better get on home
Or else he's gonna find me and the baby gone
If I have to come down after him
He′s gonna wish he′d a come to the phone
So tell Ole I ain't here, he better get on home"


Well, the good Lord knows I love her
But she don′t understand
Just how much I love this ol' honky tonk atmosphere
But when the telephone starts to ringin′
It scares the hell right out of her man
And I holler out loud
"If that's for me, Moe, tell her I ain′t here"

But she said
"Tell Ole I ain't here, he better get on home
Or else he's gonna find me and the baby gone
If I have to come down after him
He′s gonna wish he′d a come to the phone
So tell Ole I ain't here, he better get on home"
So tell Ole I ain′t here, he better get on home
