[Verse 1]

If you're a long way from home

Can't sleep at night

Grab your telephone

Somethin' just ain't right

[Chorus]

That's evil

Evil is goin' on wrong

I am warnin' you, brother

You better watch your happy home

[Verse 2]

Well, long way from home

And can't sleep at all

You know another mule

Is kickin' in your stall

[Chorus]

That's evil

Evil is goin' on wrong

I am warnin' you, brother

You better watch your happy home

[Bridge, spoken]

You better catch him

'Cause somethin' wrong

In your home

[Verse 3]

Well, if you call her on the telephone

And she answers awful slow

Grab the first thing smokin'

If you have to hobo

[Chorus]

That's evil

Evil is goin' on wrong

I am warnin' you, brother

You'd better watch your happy home

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

If you make it to your house

Knock on the front door

Run 'round to the back

You'll catch him just before he go

[Chorus]

That's evil

Evil is goin' on

I am warnin' you, brother

You better watch your happy home
