The first night when I come home,
I saw a horse in the stable
where my horse ought to be.
Why is there a horse in the stable
where my horse ought to be?
Why, you darn fool, you blame fool,
No, I've been living in this world
and I never seen a milk cow
The second night when I come home
I saw a coat hanging on the rack
where my coat ought to be
Why is there a coat hanging on the rack
where my coat ought to be?
Why you darn fool you blame fool
I've been living in this world
And I've never seen a cover lid
The third night when I come home
I saw some boots in the corner
where my boots ought to be
Why are them boots in the corner
where my boots ought to be
Why you darn fool, you blame fool,
Now I've been living in this world
And I've never seen a cream jar
The fourth night when I come home
I saw a headline on the bed
where my head ought to be
Why is there a headline on the bed
where my head ought to be
Why you darn fool, you blame fool,
Now I've been living in this world
and I've never seen a cabbage head
with a mustache on before
