charlie robison - barlight 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
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
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 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”
