Right String But the Wrong Yo Yo - Jerry Reed

You’ve got the right string baby but the wrong yo-yo

No need hangin' round my door

I went this mornin' by the hardware store

Got a brand new string for my yo-yo

Went to the doctor got the string put on

He made a mistake put the string on wrong

I said hey doc it don’t work right no more

He said well son there’s something bad wrong with your yo-yo

My papa told me and my mama did too

Son these women gonna be the death of you

Better make your mind up which one you crave

Son some of these women gonna send you to your grave

I took my yo-yo and I went down town

I yo-yoed up and I yo-yoed down

Looked in the window of a ten cent store

Everbody stood there lookin' at my yo-yo

Saw this good lookin' red head cute as could be

I said hey honey you look just right for me

But some dude walked up behind me and said kinda low

You got the right string sonny but that’s my yo-yo

Oh oh

You’ve got the right string baby but the wrong yo-yo

No need hangin' round my door
