Woody Guthrie - House of Earth lyrics

Come to my House of Earth If you would like for me To give your old time feelings back Come here to my house of good rich earth If you would like me to teach your wife a thing or two Come here to this legal illegal place for joys And teach your wife this way to grow new boys I'll take you by your hand And show you whirls Of these same feelings that grow pretty girls I'll wash your feet a couple of times a day Til your old time sorrow melts away You leave some drop of honey on my couch I'll leave a couple dollars in your pouch My house of earth is the richest land in town I pity those dead ones that at me frown So come to my house of earth And learn its worth A few green folded bills to learn of birth I kiss you in such odd and natural ways Your wife will then find out that kissing pays Two times a day I'll wash you in my tub Ten times a day I'll pat your skin and rub Call me a prostitute and a who*e, too I'll do these tricks your wife refuses to I swear by all my bibles you won't regret I've never seen a man who's sorry yet I love you once to teach you all your life The things to do when you are with your wife Your wife should be quite glad and proud of me For waking both of you up To these things you see My house of earth Runs down with wine and rum Lots of different ways That you can come And if you do come I will be glad to see you And if you don't come I'm glad you don't need me I'll furnish red hot kisses and the hole That wakes a sleeping sickness in your soul
