I HEARD ABOUT YOU
(Sheb Wooley)


Charline Arthur - 1953



I heard about you and the life you've lived
I heard about you and that cute redhead
I heard about your kisses on the telephone
So get away from me, you better leave me alone

'Cause I heard about the way you cheated and lied
I heard about the girls committin' suicide
I heard about you lovin' in the other room
Oh, you better keep your distance or I'll get me a broom

(Instrumental Break)

I heard about the girl from Tennessee
The way she shows her ???? ???
And that y'all cutie from Birmingham
Oh, you dog, what a lover you am

'Cause I heard about you and the girl named Boo
I heard about the shindigs you went to
I heard about the way she spent your dough
So don't you come at me with that angel glow

(Instrumental Break)

I heard about the way you ran around
I heard about the way you painted the town
I heard about you and those rovin' eyes
So come to me, daddy, and apologise

I heard about the way you hug so tight
I heard about the way you kiss goodnight
Love me, daddy, and prove they're true
All the things I've heard about you
