I'll tell you what happened last Saturday night
The baby was a-cryin' with all his might
The poor baby-sitter a a-tearin' her hair
A-sittin' and a-wishing' that his mother was there
His milk had turned sour now, ain't it strange
His bottle was broken and he needed a change
The telephone was busy and the lights were out
You oughta heard the baby when she started to shout
Where is you wandering mother tonight
Out somewhere flitting around the bright lights
Drinkin' and dancin' and havin a time
I wish she'd come home boy and hush up your cryin'
A rattle from the kitchen made her blood run cold
She thought of all the scary stories she'd been told
Her teeth began to chatter and her knees to knock
There wasn't any neighbours in a country block
So she grabbed the poker opened back the door
There stood a burglar man right on the floor
She hit him with the poker burglar man she said
You'll help with this here baby or I'll beat off your head
Where is you wandering mother tonight
Out somewhere flitting around the bright lights
Drinkin' and dancin' and havin a time
I wish she'd come home boy and hush up your cryin'
You listen to my story I declare it's true
Baby 'stead of tears my advice to you
Tell 'em all that they can go to Arkansas
And leave the baby-sittin' to the baby's ma
Where is you wandering mother tonight
Out somewhere flitting around the bright lights
Drinkin' and dancin' and havin a time
I wish she'd come home boy and hush up your cryin'
The baby was a-cryin' with all his might
The poor baby-sitter a a-tearin' her hair
A-sittin' and a-wishing' that his mother was there
His milk had turned sour now, ain't it strange
His bottle was broken and he needed a change
The telephone was busy and the lights were out
You oughta heard the baby when she started to shout
Where is you wandering mother tonight
Out somewhere flitting around the bright lights
Drinkin' and dancin' and havin a time
I wish she'd come home boy and hush up your cryin'
A rattle from the kitchen made her blood run cold
She thought of all the scary stories she'd been told
Her teeth began to chatter and her knees to knock
There wasn't any neighbours in a country block
So she grabbed the poker opened back the door
There stood a burglar man right on the floor
She hit him with the poker burglar man she said
You'll help with this here baby or I'll beat off your head
Where is you wandering mother tonight
Out somewhere flitting around the bright lights
Drinkin' and dancin' and havin a time
I wish she'd come home boy and hush up your cryin'
You listen to my story I declare it's true
Baby 'stead of tears my advice to you

And leave the baby-sittin' to the baby's ma
Where is you wandering mother tonight
Out somewhere flitting around the bright lights
Drinkin' and dancin' and havin a time
I wish she'd come home boy and hush up your cryin'
