[Verse 1]

I had a dream the other day

(I'm gettin' ready togo)

The Devil come an' he took me away

(I'm gettin' ready to go)

I'd always heard that place was hot,

So I asked him if it was or not

Well he wouldn't say "yes" or "no" or what,

I'm gettin' ready to go.

[Chorus]

Sweet Home

Love I'll have in Heaven

Sweet Home

Hear me moanin, Lo'

Sweet Home

Love I'll have in Heaven

Hold the gates wide open

Cause I'm gettin' ready to go!

[Verse 2]

Took me down to old Hades

(I'm gettin' ready to go)

I fell in brimstone up to my knees

(I'm gettin' ready to go)

Well, y'oughta seen them little devils prance,

But I showed them a brand new dance

When a pitchfork jabbed me right in the pants!

I'm gettin' ready to go!

Hear me moanin, Lo'

He said, "Now I'll tell you a joke:

When you go up, you'll go in smoke!"
