Poor old Tom, living on the hill, says he wants to quit but I know he never
will
The bottle's his ticket to an early grave, nothing you can do, nothing you
can say
Except he's safe at home, baby stop crying, got to leave him alone
You'll be safe at home, safe at home, mama won't you call me on the
telephone
Whatever happened to the friends that I had
Got themselves in trouble when things were looking bad
Meet me down by the river, light of the moon
Everything you need's in my silver spoon
You'll be safe at home, safe at home, baby stop crying, got to leave him
alone
You'll be sfafe at home, safe at home, mama won't you call me on the
telephone
Well I know what you need and it's driving me crazy
She hasn't come home, everything looking lazy
Come in a hurry, fall far behind, you can't love a woman, gonna tease your
mind
And you'll be safe at home, safe at home, baby stop crying, got to leave
him alone
You'll be sfafe at home, safe at home, mama won't you call me on the
telephone
You'll be safe at home, safe at home, baby stop crying, you'll be safe at
home
