Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, when I was young, my mama 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 nights have changed and such So I went out and made me up a nursery rhyme for me [Chorus] It goes bar light, bar bright First bar that I see tonight 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 tune Just a one more dance 'til you turn off the lights And you can shut down this saloon [Verse 2] You know, I never understood how a big ol' gal could 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 [Chorus] It goes bar light, bar bright First bar that I see tonight 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 tune Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights And you can shut down this saloon [Bridge] I said I never understood how a big ol' gal could 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 [Chorus] It goes bar light, bar bright First bar that I see tonight 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 tune 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
