Barlight (Live at Gruene Hall)

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 I 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've 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 I 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, oh yeah Oh, one more time boys 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 now It goes (barlight, bar bright) First bar that I see tonight I 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 out the lights And you can shut down this saloon I said, "Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights And you can shut down this saloon" Thank y'all, Gruene Hall, we've had a wonderful time That was awesome man
