Slim Dusty - Goin\' To The Barn Dance lyrics

rate me

Oh, Ive got my dancing boots on, got on my Sunday best,

Goin to the barn dance tonight.

Got a date with my girl, the one I love the best,

Goin to the barn dance tonight.

Talk about your stretchin just watch me put it on,

I wont begin to get my wind until the rest is gone,

And I will still be dancin when all the rest are gone,

Goin to the barn dance tonight.

Take it away Dan

A little drop of whiskey, how good it makes you feel,

By eight or nine and you will find the blisters on your heels,

So grab your girl and squeeze her, listen to her to her squeal,

Goin to the barn dance tonight.

Oh, them golden slippers, Oh them the golden slippers,

The golden slippers are goin with her slip with me,

Oh them the golden slippers, oh them the golden slippers

The golden slippers are goin where the war to glory is gonna be

When I get to glory Im goin sing, sing, sing.

Im goin to let that hallelujah ring,

Im goin to praise my blessed Saviours name,

When I get to glory Im goin sing, sing, sing.

In this world of sorrow Ive been troubled with wars,

When I get to glory Ill see no more

For Ill not my prayers have not been in vain,

When I get to glory Im goin sing, sing, sing.

When I get to glory Im goin sing, sing, sing.

Im goin to let that hallelujah ring,

Im goin to praise my blessed Saviours name,

When I get to glory Im goin to sing, sing, sing.
