Hey hey young lady with the leather boots.
All lined with the feathers of your mother goose,
If she could see what you were wearing,
You know that she'd flip.
So you better be preparing
How to tell her where you've been.

She lives up in a cabin thirty miles away.
So she doesn't hear the stories that the village people say.
If she could hear that they were saying
She'd tell you it's a sin.
So you better be a praying
That she doesn't ask you when.

When girl did you come home last night?
Where you been? Where you been?
You better not been out with that boy again.
Where you been? Where you been?
When girl did you come home last night?
Where you been? Where you been?
Where you been? Tell me where you been.

Perfume on your jacket, so she wont smell the smoke.
Anything your mom done taught you aint nothing but a joke.
If she could hear the way you're laughing.
She'd bring the shotgun down
Point it straight at your boyfriend -
Send him out of town.

Darling won't you go home,
Darling won't you go home and set things right.
Darling you should have known, known better than to run around all night
Darling won't you go home, darling won't you go home like mama said
Or else you'll be waking up with ghosts in your bed.

So put some oil on the hinges of the ol' back door
And tip toe softly across the hardwood floor
And if you stub your toe you better not scream out
Cause your mama is a sleeping
And she'll hear you shout

When girl did you come home last night?
Where you been? Where you been?
You better not been out with that boy again.
Where you been? Where you been?
When girl did you come home last night?
Where you been? Where you been?
Where you been? Tell me where you been.
