I'm Gettin' Ready To Go

Had a dream the other day

I'm getting ready to go

The devil came and took me away

I'm getting ready to go

Well, I always heard that the place was hot

I asked him if it was or not

He wouldn't say yes or no or what

I'm getting ready to go

Sweet home, loving heaven, heaven

Sweet home, hear me moanin' low

Sweet home, loving heaven, heaven

Hold the gates wide open

'Cause I'm getting ready to go

Took me down to old Hades

I'm getting ready to go

Fell in a brimstone up to my knees

I'm getting ready to go

Well, you oughta seen all the little devils prance

But I showed them a brand new dance

A pitchfork struck me right in the pants

I'm getting ready to go

Sweet home, loving heaven, heaven

Sweet home, hear me moanin' low

Sweet home, loving heaven, heaven

Hold the gates wide open

'Cause I'm getting ready to go

I asked when I'd get out again

I'm getting ready to go

He looked at me with a devilish grin

I'm getting ready to go

And then he laughed so hard that I thought I'd croak

He says, "Now I'll tell you a joke

When you go out, you're going to smoke"

I'm getting ready to go

Sweet home, loving heaven, heaven

Sweet home, hear me moanin' low

Sweet home, loving heaven, heaven

Hold the gates wide open

'Cause I'm getting ready to go

Now that awful dream I had

I'm getting ready to go

It left me feeling awful bad

I'm getting ready to go

Well, I got my Bible and a mouthful of cheese

I fell right down on my sinful knees

I got more religion than a dog's got fleas

I'm getting ready to go

Sweet home, loving heaven, heaven

Sweet home, hear me moanin' low

Sweet home, loving heaven, heaven

Hold the gates wide open

'Cause I'm getting ready to go

Hold the gates wide open

'Cause I'm getting ready to go
