I could not find this song anywhere on the internet.

Such a great song. In my opinion it should be up there with their popular songs. Again, thank you for sharing with us!

CHECKIN' HER OVER
Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant
© House Of Bryant, BMI
Babbit Smith is a backwoods fellow
He raises chickens on the edge of town
He sleeps with a rifle under his pillow
And he ain't very friendly when the sun goes down
Jethro Jones has a right bad habit
He picks up chickens that he don't put back
He once got caught by old man Babbit
With a speckled dove a necker and an old feed sack
He said I was only a checkin' her over
I never meant to harm a single feather on her head
The old man said I reckon you're through checkin'
You better make tracks fore you check up dead
You're liable to be checkin' on a bullet in the head
Shotgun Joe had an antique liver
He prized it more than he prized his wife
He kept it shiny as a fresh pig's liver
I reckon to defend it he'd agived his life
Along comes one of them hotrod zoomers
Took notion he could steal Joe's Ford
He turned as white as your grandma's bloomers
When old Joey caught him on the running board
He said I was only a checkin' her over
She'd be a beauty if you painted her red
Old Joe said you'd better get through checkin'
Or you'll be checkin' on a hospital bed
The nurse'll be acheckin' on the crack in your head
[ banjo ]
I went one night to see my girlie
Her folks were talkin' in a movie show
The show was short and they came home early
And caught us on the sofa with the lights down low
I said I was only a checking her over
I never meant to harm a single hair on her head
The old man said you'd better be through checkin'
You'd better start checkin' down the road instead
Or you'll be a checkin' on a bottom full of lead
You'll be a checkin' on a bottom full of lead
