Stay a Little Longer

Well, y'oughta see my blue-eyed Sally

She lives away down in Shinbone alley

The number on the gate, the number on the door

The next house over is a grocery store

Stay all night, stay a little longer

Dance all night, dance a little longer

Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner

Don't see why you don't stay a little longer

Well, you can't go home if you're goin' by the mill

'Cause the bridge's washed out, it's at bottom of the hill

The big creek's up and the big creek's level

Plow my corn with a double shovel

Stay all night, stay a little longer

Dance all night, dance a little longer

Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner

Don't see why you don't stay a little longer

I was sittin' in the window singin' to my love

When a slop bucket fell from the window up above

A mule and a grasshopper eatin' ice cream

The mule got sick and they laid him on a beam

Stay all night, stay a little longer

Dance all night, dance a little longer

Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner

Don't see why you don't stay a little longer

Well, grab your gal and pat her on the head

If you don't like biscuits, feed her cornbread

The girls up big creek, about half-grown

They'll jump on a man like a dog on a bone

Stay all night, stay a little longer

Dance all night, dance a little longer

Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner

Don't see why you don't stay a little longer

I don't see why you don't stay a little longer
