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.
