Forty Days (To Come Back Home) Songtext
von Ronnie Hawkins

I′m gonna give you 40 days
To get back home
I done called up a gypsy woman on the telephone
I'm gonna send out a world-wide who-do-that
And do the very thing that I should, yeah
I′m gonna sentence you to be back home in 40 days

Whew! 40 days! (40 days)
Whew! 40 days! (40 days)
I'm gonna sentence you to be back home in 40 days
(40 days)

I'm gonna send out a world-wide who-do-that
And do everything that I should, yeah
I′m gonna sentence you to be back home in 40 days (40 days)

I heard ′em talkin' to the judge in private
Early this mornin′
I heard they took it to the Sherriff
Office to signed a warnin'


They′re gonna go and call a charge against you
That'd be the very thing that I′ll send you
I'm gonna sentence you to be back in 40 days

Whew! 40 days! (40 days)
Whew! 40 days! (40 days)
I'm gonna sentence you to be back home in 40 days (40 days)

I′m gonna send out a world-wide who-do-that
And do everything that I should
I′m gonna sentence you to be back home in 40 days (40 days)

Whoa, 40 days (40 days)
Whew! 40 days
(40 days)
I'm gonna sentence you to be back home in 40 days
(40 days)

I′m gonna go and call a charge against you
That'll be the very thing that I send you
I′m gonna sentence you to be back home in 40 days
(40 days)
