Barlight
Well, when I was young
My momma read me nursery rhymes beside my bed
And though they sounded mighty fine
They made no sense to me
And now that I am all grown up
It seems my nights have changed as such
So I went out and made me up
A nursery rhyme for me
It goes bar light, bar bright
First bar that I see tonight
Wish I may, wish I might
Find someone to hold me tight
Hey diddle-diddle, a man with a fiddle
And the girls sing along with the tunes
Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights
And you can shut down this saloon
You know, I never understood
How a big ole gal can raise no kids in a shoe
And any old Jack goes jumping a candle
Needs to find something better to do
And a rub-a-dub dub, three men in a tub
Sure sounds kinda funny to me
So I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme
And it's the only one I'll sing
It goes bar light, bar bright
First bar that I see tonight
Wish I may, wish I might
Find someone to hold me tight
Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle
And the girls sing along with the tunes
Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights
And you can shut down this saloon
I said, "I never understood
How a big ole gal could raise no kids in a shoe
And any old Jack goes jumpin' a candle
Needs to find something better to do"
And a rub a dub dub, three men in a tub
Sure sounds kinda funny to me
So I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme
And it's the only one I'll sing
It goes barlight, bar bright
First bar that I see tonight
Wish I may, wish I might
Find someone to hold me tight
Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle
And the girls sing along with the tunes
Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights
And you can shut down this saloon
I said, "Just a one more dance 'til you turn off the lights
And you can shut down this saloon"
My momma read me nursery rhymes beside my bed
And though they sounded mighty fine
They made no sense to me
And now that I am all grown up
It seems my nights have changed as such
So I went out and made me up
A nursery rhyme for me
It goes bar light, bar bright
First bar that I see tonight
Wish I may, wish I might
Find someone to hold me tight
Hey diddle-diddle, a man with a fiddle
And the girls sing along with the tunes
Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights
And you can shut down this saloon
You know, I never understood
How a big ole gal can raise no kids in a shoe
And any old Jack goes jumping a candle
Needs to find something better to do
And a rub-a-dub dub, three men in a tub
Sure sounds kinda funny to me
So I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme
And it's the only one I'll sing
It goes bar light, bar bright
First bar that I see tonight
Wish I may, wish I might

Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle
And the girls sing along with the tunes

And you can shut down this saloon
I said, "Just a one more dance 'til you turn off the lights
And you can shut down this saloon"
