The Barn Dance by Tom T. Hall Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
One night as I was sleeping
Something awakened me
There was a light on in my barn
So I went down to see
I peeked through the big ole crack in the door
And what do you think I saw
The animals were havin' a barn dance
Right in the horse's stall

[Pre-Chorus:]
And there was the chicken doin' the chicken reel
And the muskrat rambled on
The old cow did the cow-cow boogie
And the rooster crowed a song

[Chorus:]
A mouse came out of his hidin' place
And he danced on one leg
The old hen got so tickled
That she almost laid an egg
[Verse 2:]
They were all dressed up for the barn dance
It made me want to laugh
The rabbit wore a big bow tie
And the pig was a looking in the looking glass
And the goose danced with the gander
'Til the old goat butted in
The horse was horsin' around a lot
Till the mare got mad at him

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
