Tommy Collins - Shindig In The Barn lyrics

rate me

Hello mother here's your boy a talkin' and I got somethin' wonderful to say

You know that girl I mentioned in my letter well I'm bringin' her home Saturday

We're gonna tie a knot in Albuquerque then we'll start out early in the morn

Tell all my friends the news get on your dancin' shoes

There's gonna be a shindig in the barn

A fiddle playin' guitar pickin' do-si-do and heel a kickin'

Regular ol' shindig in the barn

[ fiddle ]

I met up with her out in California and ma she's a whole lot like you

Quiet turned and pretty and ol' fashioned yellow hair and great big eyes of blue

Tell Orval Short to tune up his old fiddle and please leave at home his jug of corn

Get the boys to lend a hand and clean its spick and span

There's gonna be a shindig in the barn

A hand clappin' punch drinkin' foot stompin' partner swingin'

Regular ol' shindig in the barn

[ fiddle ]

I'm a little worried about big brother he's awful bad at jokin' like a fool

Be sure to tell him not to get too personal and tease her about our honemoon

Tell pa the shaved look is finest his eyes are gonna lie up more I warn

Oh I can hardly wait to roll up at the gate

Cause there's gonna be a shindig in the barn

A fiddle playin' guitar pickin'...
