Evil

If you're a long way from home, can't sleep at night
Grab your telephone, something just ain't right
That's evil, evil is goin' on wrong
I am warnin' ya, brother, you better watch your happy home
Well, long way from home and can't sleep at all
You know another mule is kickin' in your stall
That's evil, evil is goin' on wrong
I am warnin' ya, brother, you better watch your happy home
(You better catch him, 'cause somethin's wrong in your home)
Well, if ya 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 goin' on wrong
I am warnin' ya, brother, you better watch your happy home
If you make it to your house, knock on the front door
Run around to the back, you'll catch him, just before he go
That's evil, evil is goin' on
I am warnin' ya, brother, you better watch your happy home
