I was thinkin' about goin' home
But now I don't believe that I will go
I was thinkin' about goin' home
But now I don't believe that I will go
I'm gonna stay away a long time
Ooo-well-well, like I did one time ago

My babe will be glad
To see me come walkin' in her do'
My babe will be glad
To see me come walkin' in her do'
Well I nar remember, hoo-well
You will never see me any more

Home is a happy place
If you can make it that way
Home is a happy place
If you can make it that way
Well, now if you can't keep a happy home
Hoo-well-well, it will be the devil each and ev'ryday

I try to be good
Baby, ev'ry place I gone
I try to be good
Baby, ev'ry place I go
But now you know there will come a day
Hoo-well, that I will have some place I know

Now, if I go home
Do you think that would be the best place to be?
I said, if I go home
Do you think that would be the best place to be?
And then again if I go home
Hoo-well, do you think she will be mean to me?
