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.         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.
