Home Cookin - Margaret Whiting

Oh woe is me, what goes with me

I hate this livin' I’ve chose for me

(Margaret)

Tired of meetin' misery

Should’ve never roamed and left that

(Both)

Home cookin', home cookin'

Life is cruel, I was a fool to roam

(Margaret)

I climb this hill, I try this dale

And then I step on a rusty nail

(Bob)

Never even get no mail

She’s so far from all that goes with

(Both)

Home cookin', home cookin'

I’m afraid I shoulda stayed at home

(With a porch light, screen door

Banner from Niagara falls

Green grass, lawn mower

«Home, sweet home"upon the walls)

(Both)

That home cookin', home cookin'

Quiet life is quite the life for me

(Orchestral Break)

(Margaret)

I meet a guy, his name is Al

I wanna keep him in my corral

But he says he’s just a pal

Never comes around to try my

Home cookin', home cookin'

Life is cruel, I was a fool to roam

(Bob)

When I go out, the sun goes in

The rain comes down and it soaks my skin

Jonah is my next o' kin

Darn the luck I shoulda stuck with

Home cookin', home cookin'

I’m afraid I shoulda stayed at home

(With a cricket chattin'

Summer nights you sit on the lawn

Dog wants pattin'

Nine o’clock you start to yawn

(Both)

That’s home cookin', home cookin'

Quiet life is quite the life for me

(Musical Break)

(Both)

Rock of Ages on the organ

Thanksgivin' every day

(All)

Be it ever so humble

Give me that home cookin', home cookin

And I’ll never go away

My ticket calls for Jasper Falls

I’m headin' home and I’m gonna stay!
