Lyrics
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
