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 But 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, 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 off 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, 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 off the lights And you can shut down this saloon Ah, here we go, come on 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 Everybody sing it 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 off 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" That's right brother Be loud, be proud, you're in Texas, you say that Sing this next song after you house
