Letra
Homer Jones was a man who loved his black-eyed peas and cornbread He loved to plow the earth and go huntin' with all his hound dogs With a three-day grey beard on his face at the break of dawn he'd put his overalls on Throw corn to the chickens, milk the cows and then feed the hogs He had a young wife who had a dull life and a hired hand who was a handsome man And it didn't take long for them to love one another But it didn't take long for Homer Jones to become a bachelor With jealousy in one eye and satisfaction in the other The wisdom of his neighbors had been self-ordained And Homer had them mumblin' in confusion ev'r' Monday 'Cause Homer got his wagon out and then hitched up his favorite mule And always went to church with them on Sunday Then, one day the high sheriff came, told Homer that there'd been many complaints About the disappearance of the hired hand and Homer's missus With total confusion on the sheriff's face he took one last look and left Homer's place And Homer just grinned and hummed and went about his business Things at the county thought they knew where the things they knew that they couldn't prove And the gossipin' tongues of the curious grew much longer They kept lookin' for somethin' they couldn't find 'cause the structure of their simple minds Couldn't cope with the intellectual thoughts of Homer The wisdom of his neighbors had been self-ordained And Homer had them mumblin' in confusion ev'r' Monday 'Cause Homer got his wagon out and then hitched up his favorite mule And always went to church with them on Sunday Homer Jones was a cautious man superior to the inferior plan Of findin' dirt on his hands from unrighteous labor Every day Sister May dropped by his place lookin' for the answer on Homer's face But he'd scramble her mind when he'd smile and say "Howdy, neighbor" Then late at night when the ground was damp old Homer would swing his kerosene lamp Makin' sure that they could see and hear his revengeful laughter The hound dogs knew what Homer'd done, they howled and whined But couldn't tell no one, so the congregation wouldn't find what they were after The wisdom of his neighbors had been self-ordained And Homer had them mumblin' in confusion ev'r' Monday 'Cause Homer got his wagon out and then hitched up his favorite mule And always went to church with them on Sunday Hah!
