Merle Haggard Stay A Little Longer Lyrics

Stay A Little Longer Lyrics

(spoken)

Biffy on the drums and Dennis, you on the bass

When I count this off, ya'll give me a little Texas

Playboy type rhythm, okay

One, two, three four



(spoken)

Gather round friends, why hurry

Let's all stay a little longer



(sing)

Ya oughta see my blue eyed Sally

She live way down on Shinbone Alley

The number on the gate, the number on the door

The next house over is the grocery store

Stay all night, stay a little longer

Dance all night, dance a little longer

Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner

Don't see why ya don't stay a little longer



(spoken) Georgie French on the piano

Good mornin' Joe



Can't go home if you're goin' by the mill

'Cause the bridge washed out at the bottom of the hill

The big creek's up and the little creek's level

I plow my corn with a doubled shovel

Stay all night, stay a little longer

Dance all night, dance a little longer

Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner

Don't see why ya don't stay a little longer



(spoken)

That's Tiny Roy

Hey



Sittin, in the window singin' to my love

Slop bucket fell from the window up above

Mule and grasshopper eatin' ice cream

The mule got sick so they laid him on the green

Stay all night, stay a little longer

Dance all night, dance a little longer

Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner

Don't see why ya don't stay a little longer



(scat singing)



Grab your gal and pat her on the head

If she don't like biscuits feed her corn bread

If the girls don't

They jump on a man like a dog on a bone

Stay all night, stay a little longer

Dance all night, dance a little longer

Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner

Don't see why ya don't stay a little longer



Stay all night, stay a little longer

Dance all night, dance a little longer

Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner

Don't see why ya don't stay a little longer
