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