mac wiseman – may i sleep in your barn tonight, mister lyrics
one night it was dark and ’twas stormy
and along came a tramp in the rain
he was making his way to some station
to catch a long distance train.
may i sleep in your barn tonight mister
it is cold lying out on the ground
and the cold north wind it is blowing
and i have no place to lie down.
oh i have no tobacco or matches
and i’m sure that i’ll do you no harm
i will tell you my story kind mister
for it runs through my heart like a th-rn.
it was three years ago last summer
i shall never forget that sad day
when a stranger came out from the city
and said that he wanted to stay.
one night as i came from my workshop
i was whistling and singing with joy
i expected a kind hearted welcome
from my sweet loving wife and my boy.
but what should i find i find but a letter
it was placed in the room on the stand
and the moment my eyes fell upon it
i picked it right up in my hand.
now this note said my wife and the stranger
they had left and had taken my son
oh i wonder if god up in heaven
only knows what this stranger has done
