(Come on now, bring it on down to my house, boys, right)
Bring it on down to my house honey, there ain't nobody home but me
Bring it on down to my house honey, I need your company
Tom cat sittin' on the railroad track
Well he hollered at the Mama cat, she answered back
(Oh, yes)
Bring it on down to my house honey, ain't nobody home but me
Bring it on down to my house honey, I need your company
My gal Sal, she makes good pie
I eat so much I could nearly die
Bring it on down to my house honey, ain't nobody home but me

Bring it on down to my house honey, ain't nobody home but me
Bring it on down to my house honey, I need your company
Say old man, can ya play the fiddle
Yes, by crackies I can play a little
Bring it on down to my house honey, ain't nobody home but me

Bring it on down to my house honey, ain't nobody home but me
Bring it on down to my house honey, I need your company
Bot-do, noddleaten do, sh'bodleaten do, whoa
Bring it on down to my house honey, ain't nobody home but me
Oh yes babe, aint' nobody home but me

Tom cat sittin' on the railroad track
Well he hollered at the Mama cat, she answered back
I observed a male cat sitting on a locomotive track, who then vocalized to a female cat and received a response.
My gal Sal, she makes good pie
I eat so much I could nearly die
My significant other Sally creates delectable desserts that are irresistible and consumed to the point of feeling almost unwell.
Say old man, can ya play the fiddle
Yes, by crackies I can play a little
Excuse me sir, are you capable of playing a stringed musical instrument?
Indeed, I am able to play to a moderate extent.
Bot-do, noddleaten do, sh'bodleaten do, whoa
The vocalization of meaningless nonsense.
Oh yes babe, aint' nobody home but me
I confirm that there is no other person currently present except for myself, my dear.

@swamibubba
At a time when the world seems to be
Spinning hopelessly out of control
There's deceivers and believers
And old in-betweeners
That seem to have no place to go
Well it's the same old song
It's right and it's wrong
And livin' is just something I do
And with no place to hide
I looked in your eyes
And I found myself in you
I looked to the stars
Tried all of the bars
And I've nearly gone up in smoke
Now my hands on the wheel
Of something that's real
And I feel like I'm goin' home
And in the shade of an oak
Down by the river
Sat an old man and a boy
Settin' sails, spinnin' tails
And fishin' for whales
With a lady that they both enjoy
Well it's the same damn tune
It's the man in the Moon
It's the way that I feel about you
And with no place to hide
I looked in your eyes
And I found myself in you
And I looked to the stars
Tried all of the bars
And I've nearly gone up in smoke
Now my hands on the wheel
Of something that's real
And I feel like I'm goin' home

“My hand’s on the wheel of some thing’s that real. And I feel like I’m going home.”
I also heard this on Yellowstone. I’d almost forgotten this great love song! Thank you Yellowstone!
