Met this girl called Josephine and took her up on my machine,
|
We had a little fun, and now we got a little one.
|
Had to get married, being chased out of town.
|
Found ourselves a place to live, we put all our money down.
|
|
Called it Home Sweet Home, Home Sweet Home,
|
Eleven floors up in a tower block, happy just to have a home.
|
I've gone and changed the lock on our home.
|
|
Nothing really worked out right; things got broke, they stayed that way.
|
None of our friends came round at night, little Sam got no place to play.
|
"We've got to get out of here, Bill," she said,
|
"I've been telling you all the while,"
|
When I came home from work that night,
|
She'd jumped out the window with our child.
|
|
From our Home Sweet Home, Home Sweet Home.
|
Just a place to take a rest, just a place to make a nest.
|
We call it home.
|
|
When the insurance money came through,
|
It seemed dirty, didn't know what to do.
|
Took out the cash, went down to the casino,
|
Down on the wheel on a double,
|
And I won, yes I won, like I never won before.
|
Bought myself a country house with an antique carved oak door.
|
|
It was Home Sweet Home, Home Sweet Home.
|
Just a place to lay our head, think of all the things we said
|
About in our Home Sweet Home.
