Don't ever cut your hair on Sunday morning
There'll come a big ol' bald spot on your head
And don't hide no dirty books beneath your mattress
Or you'll come back and find the devil in your bed

Yeah, there's things you should and shouldn't do
But here's some good advice for you
Don't make no big decisions on your own
And don't ever let your lover sleep alone

Hey, don't ever let your lover sleep alone
Or you'll come back and find a nightmare in your home
There's things you should and shouldn't do
But here's some good advice for you
Don't ever let your lover sleep alone

Don't ever bet your bottom on a greyhound
You'll wind up with a pair of beggin' hands
And don't leave your darlin' hangin' when you boogie
Always try to finish every dance

There's things you should and shouldn't do
But here's some good advice for you
Don't ever let your lover sleep alone
And don't make no big decisions on your own

Hey, don't ever let your lover sleep alone
Or you'll come back and find a nightmare in your home
There's things you should and shouldn't do
But here's some good advice for you
Don't ever let your darlin' sleep alone
