Red Negligee, White Whiskey and Blue Lights
(Dicky Williams)
(spoken: “Well, I guess I might as well tell you the truth”)
Honey
I’m sorry I done you wrong
Stayed with that cowgirl
The whole weekend long
But honey I’m not the blame
I went momentarily insane
When I saw her red negligee, white whiskey and blue lights she was sweet to me
And every time I’d get dressed
And start towards the door
Her red negligee, white whiskey and blue lights made me crawl back for more
And then my lady said, she says,
“Honey, you did me wrong but I’m not mad”
I say, “You’re not?”
She says, “No, but listen”
“While you were gone, it was the best weekend I ever had”
But I said “But, but baby, I don’t understand”
She said “I stayed with that cowboy
“But honey I’m not the blame
“Cause when he saw my red negligee, white whiskey and blue lights he went insane”
I said “but Baby”
She said, “Every time I’d get dressed
And start towards the door
He said my negligee, white whiskey and blue lights made him crawl back for more”
I said, “Honey
Please don’t tell me this is true
Another cowboy’s staying with you
It never crossed my mind
That you like red, white and blue
Please tell me this is a lie
‘Cause if it’s not it’s going to make me cry
I never realized…
