slim dusty - can i sleep in your barn tonight mister lyrics
may i sleep in your barn tonight, mister?
it’s so cold lying out on the ground;
and the cold north winds to the whistling,
and i have no place to lie down.
now i have no tobacco or matches,
and i’m sure i would cause you no harm;
i will tell you my story, kind mister,
for it runs through my heart like a storm.
it was three years ago last summer,
i shall never forget that sad day,
when a stranger came out from the city,
and he said that he wanted to stay.
now this stranger was fair, tall and handsome,
and he looked like a man who had wealth;
and he wanted to stay in the country,
said he wanted to stay for his health.
then 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.
oh. but what did i find but a letter,
it was placed in my room on the stand;
and the moment my eyes fell upon it,
why i take it right up in my hands.
now this note said my wife and the stranger,
they had left and have taken my son;
oh, i wonder if god up in heaven,
only knows what this stranger has done.”
may i sleep in your barn tonight, mister?
it’s so cold lying out on the ground;
and the cold north winds to the whistling,
and i have no place to lie down.
