Hobo jim was tendin' the fire He said tonight boys we got a feast Got a fresh stole hen and half pint of gin And a big can of blackeyed peas Said it ain't no joke that hickory smoke Can work up an appetite He said roll up your sleeves and don't wait for me Boys we're gonna do it up right
We're gettin' out the good stuff tonight Yeah we're windin' it up and lettin' it go Just the good stuff tonight Yeah there ain't no place like home sweet home
Got the moon and the stars and some quarter cigars Boys it don't get better than that Got a big pile of wood and it sure feels good To just kick back and relax He learnin' to treasure the simpler pleasures It comes real easy for me As a matter of fact life by the tracks It's kinda hard to beat
We're gettin' out the good stuff tonight Yeah we're windin' it up and lettin' it go Just the good stuff tonight Yeah there ain't no place like home sweet home
In the scheme of things you don't wanna save it too long 'cause you can't take it with you when you're gone
We're gettin' out the good stuff tonight Yeah we're windin' it up and lettin' it go Just the good stuff tonight Yeah there ain't no place like home sweet home
We're gettin' out the good stuff tonight Yeah we're windin' it up and lettin' it go Just the good stuff tonight Yeah there ain't no place like home sweet home
