Maybe you should disappear,
And now I've warned you so
Bury your clothes out in the woods,
And hide your letters 'neath the stove

There's a big house down in Wilkeson, where you can dance on tabletops
There's a card room in the back, where you can dance on tabletops

You'd better light a fire, underneath yourself,
You'd better light a fire, right here where it counts,
You'd better light a fire, you'd best believe the warning,
You'd better light a fire, this is your good luck morning

Take my savings and my ring
And buy yourself somethin' to wear
The bus rolls out of here at five,
They'll still be up when you get there

Say hello to them in Wilkeson and tell 'em that I'll be back soon
I know you'll do alright in Wilkeson, you tell 'em that I'll be back soon

You'd better light a fire, underneath yourself,
You'd better light a fire, right here where it counts,
You'd better light a fire, you'd best believe the warning,
You'd better light a fire, this is your good luck morning

You'd better light a fire, underneath yourself,
You'd better light a fire, right here where it counts,
You'd better light a fire, you'd best believe the warning,
You'd better light a fire, this is your good luck morning

This is your good luck day,
This is your good luck charm,
They'll try to do you right,
Won't ever do you harm,
You'd better light a fire, you'd best believe the warning,
You'd better light a fire, this is your good luck
