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 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 |
|
I said, "I never understood |
|

|

|
