Two hobos on a railroad line |
|
I'm getting ready to go |
|
Pulling on a bottle of burgundy wine |
|
I'm getting ready to go |
|
Well they couldn't hear that southbound whistle when |
|
The Dixie Flyer burned around the bend |
|
And it punched their tickets for the promise land |
|
I'm getting ready to go |
|
Sweet home, loving heaven heaven |
|
Sweet home, can't ya hear me singing low |
|
Sweet home, lordy I'll be traveling |
|
So throw the gates wide open |
|
Cause I'm getting ready to go |
|
Two magpies on a telephone wire |
|
I'm getting ready to go |
|
Singing to the corn like a heavenly choir |
|
I'm getting ready to go |
|
Old Farmer John must be sleeping sound |
|
They shucked that corn and passed it around |
|
But the old man's wife got her shotgun down |
|
I'm getting ready to go |
|
Sweet home, loving heaven heaven |
|
Sweet home, can't ya hear me singing low |
|
Sweet home, lordy I'll be traveling |
|
So throw the gates wide open |
|
Cause I'm getting ready to go |
|
Listen here pal 'fore your road is run |
|
And your tightrope breaks in two |
|
It's a mighty big world you're standing on |
|
And it keeps going round without little old |
|
You know who |
|
Boodle-am boodle-am boodle-am boodle-am boo |
|
Toodle-am toodle-am toodle-am toodle-am too |
|
Shake a leg, shake a leg, shake a leg, shake a leg now |
|
Break a leg, drag a leg, shake a leg, grab a leg, break a leg, shake a leg now |
|
Well it's so long, good luck, great to know you |
|
I'm getting ready to go |
|
May the Lord above take a liking to you |
|
I'm getting ready to go |
|
Well it's a short life of trouble so don't make more |
|
When death comes creeping 'round your back door |
|
It don't knock twice brother that's for sure |
|
I'm getting ready to go |
|
Sweet home, loving heaven heaven |
|
Sweet home, can't ya hear me singing low |
|
Sweet home, lordy I'll be traveling |
|
So throw the gates wide open |
|
Cause I'm getting ready to go |
|
Throw the gates wide open |
|
Cause I'm getting ready to go |
