Build You a Barn

[Verse 1]
I'll build you a barn
I'll build you a barn big enough
I'll build you a barn
I'll build you a barn
I'll build you a barn big enough
To hold all of us

[Verse 2]
The door will swing wide
Swing wide enough for one and all
The door will swing wide
The door will swing wide
And carrying what we can bear
We'll stand as we are

[Verse 3]
Some cradle it close
Sharp as the wood-splitter's axe
Some cradle it close
Some cradle it close
The heavy head sledgehammer, dull
Some drag it in slow

[Verse 4]
I'll build you a barn
I'll build you a barn big enough
To hold all of us
To hold all of us
And laden together we'll stand
The dusk coming on
