Lyrics
I ain't had a single wink of sleep in a month of Sundays
Old Blue keeps me up all night long
He lays around and cries and moans
When a dog won't chew his bone there's something wrong
And I think there's something going on in the henhouse
That old rooster, he don't even wanna crow
He pecks the ground like he's distressin'
Sending out an SOS in Morse code
And the pigs won't even waller in the mud
And the horses, they don't wanna saddle up
And the message from the farm is a full barnyard alarm
Come home, baby, come home
Since you've been gone every critter 'round here just cries and moans
Laying 'round the old shack so sad missing you
You always said I was as stubborn as a mule
Well, that old mule, I think he would agree
He shakes his head like he's disgusted
Wishing that he wasn't stuck with me
It ain't their fault, we're all in this boat together
But I know there'll be a mutiny on the yard
If I don't think of something quick
Before this sinking ship just falls apart
And the pigs won't even waller in the mud
The heifers, hounds, and swines, they're all pining for your love
And the message from the farm is a full barnyard alarm
Come home, baby, come home
Since you've been gone every critter 'round here just cries and moans
Laying 'round the old shack so sad missing you
Come home, baby, come home
Since you've been gone every critter 'round here just cries and moans
Laying 'round the old shack so sad missing you
Missing you
I'm just a-laying 'round the old shack thinking how to get you back
Wondering what to do
Come home, baby, come home
Since you've been gone every critter 'round here just cries and moans
Laying 'round the old shack so sad missing you
Old Blue keeps me up all night long
He lays around and cries and moans
When a dog won't chew his bone there's something wrong
And I think there's something going on in the henhouse
That old rooster, he don't even wanna crow
He pecks the ground like he's distressin'
Sending out an SOS in Morse code
And the pigs won't even waller in the mud
And the horses, they don't wanna saddle up
And the message from the farm is a full barnyard alarm
Come home, baby, come home
Since you've been gone every critter 'round here just cries and moans
Laying 'round the old shack so sad missing you
You always said I was as stubborn as a mule
Well, that old mule, I think he would agree
He shakes his head like he's disgusted
Wishing that he wasn't stuck with me
It ain't their fault, we're all in this boat together
But I know there'll be a mutiny on the yard
If I don't think of something quick
Before this sinking ship just falls apart
And the pigs won't even waller in the mud
The heifers, hounds, and swines, they're all pining for your love
And the message from the farm is a full barnyard alarm
Come home, baby, come home
Since you've been gone every critter 'round here just cries and moans
Laying 'round the old shack so sad missing you
Come home, baby, come home
Since you've been gone every critter 'round here just cries and moans
Laying 'round the old shack so sad missing you
Missing you
I'm just a-laying 'round the old shack thinking how to get you back
Wondering what to do
Come home, baby, come home
Since you've been gone every critter 'round here just cries and moans
Laying 'round the old shack so sad missing you
