Tom T. Hall - The Barn Dance lyrics

[Verse 1:] One night as I was sleeping Something awakened me There was a light on in my barn So I went down to see I peeked through the big ole crack in the door And what do you think I saw The animals were havin' a barn dance Right in the horse's stall [Pre-Chorus:] And there was the chicken doin' the chicken reel And the muskrat rambled on The old cow did the cow-cow boogie And the rooster crowed a song [Chorus:] A mouse came out of his hidin' place And he danced on one leg The old hen got so tickled That she almost laid an egg [Verse 2:] They were all dressed up for the barn dance It made me want to laugh The rabbit wore a big bow tie And the pig was a looking in the looking gla** And the goose danced with the gander 'Til the old goat bu*ted in The horse was horsin' around a lot Till the mare got mad at him [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
