If you're a long way from home
Can't sleep at night
Grab your telephone
Something just ain't rightThat's evil
Evil is goin' on wrong
I am warnin' ya brother
You better watch your happy homeWell, long way from home and
Can't sleep at all
You know another mule
Is kickin' in your stallThat's evil
Evil is goin' on wrong
I am warnin' ya brother
You better watch your happy homeYou better catch him
'Cause somethin' wrong
In your homeWell, if ya call her on the telephone
And she answers awful slow
Grab the first train smokin'
If you have to hoboThat's evil
Evil is goin' on wrong
I am warnin' ya brother
You better watch your happy homeIf you make it to your house
Knock on the front door
Run around to the back
You'll catch him just before he goThat's evil
Evil is goin' on
I am warnin' ya brother
You better watch your happy home
