"I aint been home for three whole nights, Last night,
 tonight, and tomorrow."

Answer
Hello Jim,

Here you are.....

"I Haven't Been Home For Three Whole Nights"
by Spike Jones & His City Slickers

I haven't been home for three whole nights
Three whole nights, three whole nights
I haven't been home for three whole nights
Last night, tonight and tomorrow

Been having some fun for three whole nights
Three whole nights, three whole nights
Been having some fun for three whole nights
Last night, tonight and tomorrow

Now I lost my wife's last money
And I didn't care
But now I'm really worried
'Cause somebody's moved my house somewhere

I haven't been home for three whole nights
Three whole nights, practically a fortnight
I haven't been home for three whole nights
Last night, tonight and tomorrow

My wife she up and left me
Yes, I guess she was provoked
She said I had bad habits
She couldn't stand a man who smoked

I haven't been home for three whole nights
Three whole nights, three whole nights
I haven't been home for three whole nights
Last night, tonight and...and yester... no, no
Last night, tonight and to... no, no
Well, it really doesn't matter
I'm going to get heck when I get home, anyway


Glad to be of help. Cheers........Mel.

I have been hooked on Country music since first hearing Jim Reeves in the late 50s. Two of the greatest nights of my life were seeing The Mavericks and Reba McEntire live in London. I am more at home with traditional Country music, but am happy to try and help with any questions relating to songs up to 2000. Please note that I DO NOT have the same knowledge about country music videos or singers private lives.
