[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 saying it all the while”
When I came home from work that night
She'd jumped out the window with our child

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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-O
And I won, yes I won, like I never won before
Bought myself a country house with an antique carved oak door

[Chorus]
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
In our home sweet home
