I’m Getting Ready to Go

[Verse 1]
I had a dream the other day
(I'm gettin' ready to go)
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 low
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, you 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

[Chorus]
Sweet Home
Love I'll have in heaven
Sweet Home
Hear me moanin low
Sweet Home
Love I'll have in heaven
Hold the gates wide open
Cause I'm gettin' ready to go

[Verse 3]
I asked when I'd get out again
(I'm gettin' ready to go)
He looked at me with a devilish grin
(I'm gettin' ready to go)
Now he laughed so hard, I thought I'd croak
He said, "Now I'll tell you a joke:
When you go up, you'll go in smoke!"
I'm gettin' ready to go!

[Chorus]
Sweet Home
Love I'll have in heaven
Sweet Home
Hear me moanin low
Sweet Home
Love I'll have in heaven
Hold the gates wide open
Cause I'm gettin' ready to go

[Verse 4]
Now that awful dream I had
(I'm gettin' ready to go!)
It left me feelin' awful bad
(I'm gettin' ready to go!)
Well I got my Bible and a mouthful of cheese
It fell right down on my bended knees
I got more religion than a dog's got fleas
I'm gettin' ready to go

[Chorus]
Sweet Home
Love I'll have in heaven
Sweet Home
Hear me moanin low
Sweet Home
Love I'll have in heaven
Hold the gates wide open
Cause I'm gettin' ready to go!
