Album: Anthology of American Folk Music, Volume One: Ballads
First night that I went home : drunk as I could be
There's another mule in the stable : where my mule ought to be
Come here honey : explain yourself to me
How come another mule in the stable : where my mule ought to be
Oh crazy oh silly : can't you plainly see
That's nothing but a milkcow : where your mule ought to be
I've traveled this world over : million times or more
Saddle on a milkcow's back : I've never seen before
Second night when I got home : as drunk as I could be
There's another coat on the coat rack : where my coat ought to be
Come here honey : explain this thing to me
How come another coat on the coat rack : where my coat ought to be
Oh crazy oh silly : can't you plainly see
Nothing but a bed quilt : where your coat ought to be
I've traveled this world over : million times or more
Pockets in a bed quilt : I've never seen before
The third night when I went home : drunk as I could be
There's another head on the pillow : where my head ought to be
Come here honey come here : explain this thing to me
How come another head on the pillow : where my head ought to be
Oh crazy oh silly : can't you plainly see
That's nothing but a cabbage head : that your grandma sent to me
I've traveled this world over : million times or more
Hair on a cabbage head : I've never seen before
