HOME, JAMES
Mel Tillis & Benny Joy
Burl Ives


I Received An Invitation To Her Party
She Sent Her Love And Said Dress Formally
Please Be Ready And Waiting At 7:00
And She Would Send Her Chauffeur Over After Me


So I Had To Rent A Tux And Pink Carnation
And I Showed Up Acting Socially
But She Said She Hadn't Sent Me An Invitation
And Everybody Had A Laugh On Me
So I Said...


CHORUS:
HOME, JAMES
HOME, JAMES
Drive Me As Fast As You Can
HOME, JAMES
HOME, JAMES
You Picked Up The Wrong Man!


Riding Home I Felt So Disappointed
I Was All Dressed Up To Have Myself A Time
They Laughed And Joked And Cried Oh How Funny
When They Found Her Lover's Name Was Just Like Mine
So I Said...


REPEAT CHORUS 2X.
