[Verse] Met this girl called Josephine and took her up on my machine We had a little fun, and now we got a little one Had to get married, being chased out of town Found ourselves a place to live, we put all our money down Called it Home Sweet Home, Home Sweet Home Eleven floors up in a tower block, happy just to have a home I've gone and changed the lock on our home Nothing really worked out right; things got broke, they stayed that way None of our friends came round at night, little Sam got no place to play "We've got to get out of here, Bill," she said "I've been telling you all the while," When I came home from work that night She'd jumped out the window with our child From our Home Sweet Home, Home Sweet Home Just a place to take a rest, just a place to make a nest We call it home When the insurance money came through It seemed dirty, didn't know what to do Took out the cash, went down to the casino Down on the wheel on a double And I won, yes I won, like I never won before Bought myself a country house with an antique carved oak door It was Home Sweet Home, Home Sweet Home Just a place to lay our head, think of all the things we said About in our Home Sweet Home
