Bluegrass Songs - Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk Hang out the front door key 
Percy Wilson Gay left his wife one day Then she'd always says'be home on time' Don't have me a-waitin' here when dinner time comes near Be here when we set down to dine 
He promised her he would, then he swore he'd be good Percy never could quite settle down For when his work was thru he'd find a friend or two They would just play around the town 
He called her on the telephone This is what he'd sing to her alone Hang out the front door key love Hang out the front door key 
Don't wait up for me love I may be out 'til three I'm with a very sick friend love who'd do the same for me So leave a light in hte fall tonight And hang out the front door key 
One nigtht when he got home he found himself alone Where she had gone he knew not where Although it served him right he had an awful fright To think he could not find her there 
She called him up and three said'yes dear this is me' How does it seem to be at home all alone 
I'm with some freinds of mine, having so good a time I don't know just when I'll be home 
On the table he found a little note He poened it and this is what it wrote Hang out the front door key love Hang out the front door key 
Set upb awhile for me love just as I have for thee I'm with a very sick friend love who thinks a lot of me Your little wife's gonna like night life So hang out the front door key
