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 life has changed as such.

So I went out and made me up

A nursery Rhyme for me.





It goes bar light, bar bright.

First bar that I see tonight.

I wish I may I 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 one more dance til you turn out the lights,

And you can shut down this saloon.





Well I never understood how a big old gal,

Could raise no kids in a shoe.

And any old Jack goes jumping a candle,

Needs to find something better to do.

And rub a dub dub, three men in a tub,

Sure sounds kind of funny to me.

So I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme,

and it's the only one I'll sing.





It goes bar light, bar bright.

First bar that I see tonight.

I wish I may I 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 one more dance til you turn out the lights,

And you can shut down this saloon.

I said just one more dance til you turn out the lights,

And you can shut down this saloon.
