Hello mother here's your boy a talkin' and I got somethin' wonderful to say
|
You know that girl I mentioned in my letter well I'm bringin' her home Saturday
|
We're gonna tie a knot in Albuquerque then we'll start out early in the morn
|
Tell all my friends the news get on your dancin' shoes
|
There's gonna be a shindig in the barn
|
A fiddle playin' guitar pickin' do-si-do and heel a kickin'
|
Regular ol' shindig in the barn
|
[ fiddle ]
|
I met up with her out in California and ma she's a whole lot like you
|
Quiet turned and pretty and ol' fashioned yellow hair and great big eyes of blue
|
Tell Orval Short to tune up his old fiddle and please leave at home his jug of corn
|
Get the boys to lend a hand and clean its spick and span
|
There's gonna be a shindig in the barn
|
A hand clappin' punch drinkin' foot stompin' partner swingin'
|
Regular ol' shindig in the barn
|
[ fiddle ]
|
I'm a little worried about big brother he's awful bad at jokin' like a fool
|
Be sure to tell him not to get too personal and tease her about our honemoon
|
Tell pa the shaved look is finest his eyes are gonna lie up more I warn
|
Oh I can hardly wait to roll up at the gate
|
Cause there's gonna be a shindig in the barn
|
A fiddle playin' guitar pickin'...
