Big Job

(album: It's Country Time Again! - 1966)

Big job, a-picking up the pieces (big job)
Big job, a-making the rounds (big job)
Big job, of telling all the ladies
My pretty momma is a-coming to town.

Now the phone is a-ringing and the news it's a-bringing
Is going to put an end to all of my wild night life
A greyhounds a-coming and the wheels are a-humming
And my pretty mommas coming home tonight.

Big job, a-picking up the pieces (big job)
Big job, a-making the rounds (big job)
Big job, of telling all the ladies
My pretty momma is a-coming to town.

The lights were a-burning bright each and every single night
Party's going on till the break of day
If I didn't make it clear ladies stay away from here
It'll be an hour and a half away.

I'm a-gonna have a
Big job, a-picking up the pieces (big job)
Big job, a-making the rounds (big job)
Big job, of telling all the ladies
My pretty momma is a-coming to town.

Guess I better scat down to the launder mat
Wash out all of them lipstick stains
Tidy up the house a bit get everything fit
Good thing she isn't comin; ' in by plane.

I'm a-gonna have a
Big job, a-picking up the pieces (big job)
Big job, a-making the rounds (big job)
Big job, of telling all the ladies
My pretty momma is a-coming to town.

Now, I'm a-gonna have a
Big job, a-picking up the pieces (big job)
Big job, a-making the rounds (big job)
Big job, of telling all the ladies
My pretty momma is a-coming to town.

I'm a-gonna have a
Big job, a-picking up the pieces (big job)
My pretty momma is a-coming to town.

(Big job) of telling all the ladies
