Well when I was young my momma
Read the 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 had changed as such
So I went out and made me up a nursery
rhyme for me

Chorus
It goes barlight, bar bright
First bar I see tonight
Wish I may, wish I might
Find someone to hold me tight
Hey diddle diddle man with a fiddle and
The girls sing along with the tunes
Just one more dance till you turn
Out the lights and you can
Shut down this saloon

You know I never understood
How a big ol' gal could raise
No kids in a shoe and any ol' jack
Goes jumpin' a candle needs
To find somethin' 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

Chorus

You know I never understood
How a big ol' gal could raise
No kids in a shoe and any ol' jack
Goes jumpin' a candle needs
To find somethin' 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

Chorus

Just one more dance till you turn
Out the lights and you can
Shut down the saloon
