Now when I was young my
momma read me nursery rhymes beside my bed
though they sounded mighty fine they made no sense to me
now that i am all grown up it seems my nights have changed 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 sings along with the tune
just a one more dance til you turn off the lights and
you can shut down this saloon

Well I never understood
how a big ole gal could raise no kids in a shoe
and any old jack that goes jumping a candle
needs to find something better to do
rub a dub dub 3 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

Repeat Chorus

Well i never understood
how a big ole gal could raise no kids in a shoe
and any old jack that goes jumping a
candle needs to find something better to do
rub a dub dub 3 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
