Shindig in the Barn

Hello ma this here's your boy a-talkin'
And I got somethin' wonderful to say
You know that gal I mentioned in my letter
Well I'm bringin' her home Saturday

We're gonna tie the 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 kickin' regular ol' shindig in the barn

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 Shaw to tune up his old fiddle
And please leave at home his jug of corn
Get the boys to lend a hand and clean it 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

I'm a little worried about big brother
He's awful bad at jokin' acting a fool
Be sure to tell him not to get too personal
And tease her about our honeymoon

Tell pa to shave and look his finest
His eyes are gonna light up ma 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' do-si-do
And heel a kickin' regular ol' shindig in the barn
