damn, yeah, that's a great one! Blues songs have traditionally been very good at this.

Lucinda Williams can get rather saucy.
I take off my watch and my earringsMy bracelets and everythingLie on my back and moan at the ceilingOh my babyThink about you and that long rideI bite my nails I get weak insideReach over and turn off the lightOh my baby
Unfortunately, by the time of 2008's Little Honey she'd gone just silly:
Oh, my little honey beeI'm so glad you stung meNow I've got your honeyAll over my tummyHoney bee, it's heavenTwenty-four sevenOh, my little honey bee

In the first Lucinda Williams case I'd say it's more the delivery that's blunt than the lyric: that moaning!

Read something somewhere about one of the more recent Hank III's "Straight to Hell" being the first country (or "country") record to get a parental advisory sticker. Could that be true?

There was a "comedy" C&W duo in Britain in the early '80s, can't remember their name but they did an album called Taking the 'O' out of Country, which gives you an idea of the level of humour involved here. For some unfathomable reason I've never forgotten these lines:
'Cos they're so big and soft and roundAnd they don't make a soundBut how they look remains a mystery to meWith my hands in my pocketsJust thinking about Dolly's rocketsHow I'd love to see that Dolly Parton's tits.

Taking the 'O' out of Country
Shooter Jennings' first album title was Put The 'O' Back In Country, fwiw. (And is that song related to "Dolly Parton's Hits" by Bobby Braddock?)
Noted a couple days ago on Rolling Country:
--Barbara Mandrell's "The Midnight Oil" is even kind of filthy: She stays after work at the office to give the boss "a helping hand," and later she'll feel "kinda dirty 'cause I'll have that midnight oil all over me."

Bellamy Brothers, "Do You Love As Good As You Look"
Long blonde hair, sky blue eyesYeah, that well-bred look is easy to recognizeA tailored dress, a fit so fineAnd it adds up to the question on my mind
Honey, do you love as good as you look?Can you satisfy your man, like your body says you can?Judging from the cover, I'd love to read the bookHoney, do you love as good as you look?
If you could read my mind, you might blush blood-redBut then again you might come over here insteadI see they brought your check and soon you're bound to goIf I don't make my move right now, I may never know

All the cheerin crowdsat all my sold out showsAin't worth a bucket of KFCas my loneliness grows
Together we were a system,like a Super NESWithout you i am nothingan Atari Lynx at best

I spent my whole life lyinBut what I say is trueI wasted my life fingerin' chordsWhen I shoulda been fingerin' you

Gene Watson's fantastic 1975 hit Love in the Hot Afternoon starts off like this: "From somewhere outsideI hear the street vendor cry, 'filé gumbo'From my window I see himGoing down the streetAnd he don't knowThat she fell right to sleepIn the damp tangled sheets so soonAfter love in the hot afternoon"

Have we talked about "I'm Your Toy" /:"Hot Burrito #1"?
You may be sweet and niceThat won't keep you warm at nightCause I'm the one who taught you howTo do the things you're doing nowHe may feel all your charmsHe may hold you in his armsBut I'm the one who let you inI was right beside you then
Once upon a timeYou let me feel you deep insideAnd nobody knew, nobody sawDo you remember the way you cried

"Whispering" Bill Anderson was kind of known for the same type of seduction country songs as Conway Twitty. This one is also a bit of a country/disco hybrid.
I can't take any longer baby I mean I can't wait any longerMhm I gotta have you I gotta know how it is to touch youTo hold you to feel you our lives have touched our minds have touchedAnd I can't wait any longer for our bodies to touch our souls to touchI can't wait any longer this feelin's gettin' strongerSatisfy my hunger you're the only one who canWhere do I have to go what do I have to doWho do I have to lie to so I can lie with you I can't wait any longerPatience has never been one of my virtues baby when I want something I want it nowAnd I want you now I want to kiss you now I want to love you nowI can't wait any longer...(I can't wait I can't wait doo doo doo) baby I can't wait any longerI want you now hmm now yeah (I can't wait I can't wait...)
