Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you're a long way form home, can't sleep at night

Grab your telephone, somethin' just ain't right

That's evil, evil is going on, wrong

I am warnin' you, brother, you better watch your happy home

[Verse 2]

Well, a long way from home, and can't sleep at all

You know another mule is kickin' in your stall

That's evil, evil is going on, wrong

I am warnin' you, brother, you better watch your happy home

[Verse 3]

You better catch him

'Cause somethin' wrong

In your home

[Verse 4]

Well, if you call her on the telephone, and she answers awful slow

Grab the first train smokin' if you have to hobo

That's evil, evil is going on, wrong

I am warnin' you, brother, you better watch your happy home

[Verse 5]

If you make it to your house, knock on the front door

Run round to the back, you'll catch him just before he go

That's evil, evil is going on

I am warnin' you, brother, you better watch your happy home
