Johnny came home and Jim did too
Looking for a home cooked dinner
Mama in the kitchen, said "You never get through
Cooking for the saints and sinners."

Get along, get along, get along Johnny
Get along, get along, get along Jimmy

One day, the preacher come to our door
Said, "Mmm, mmm, somethin' sure smells good"
Papa said, "Yes, sir, there's room for one more
Come and help yourself if you would"

Get along, get along, get along Preacher
Get along, get along, get along Papa

Every single time we sit down to eat
Somebody's in the front yard
Ole Ms. Melly and her sister Mimi
Come on over just to play cards

[Chorus]
Get along, now
Go home
Get along, now
Go on
Get along now
That's right
Get along now
Good night

Get along, get along, get along Melly
Get along, get along, get along Mimi

[Chorus]

Hurry, shut the door 'fore she cooks
Don't forget the fine aroma
Every stray dog in he neighborhood
Looking for a meal from Mama
Get along, get along, get along stray dog
Get along, get along, get along stray dog
