Merle Haggard — Stay a Little Longer

Biff, you're on the drums and Dennis, you on the bass When I count this off, you all give me a little Texas Playboy-type rhythm, okay? One, two, three four Gather round friends, why hurry? Let's all stay a little longer [Verse 1] You ought to see my blue-eyed Sally She live way down on Shinbone Alley The number on the gate, the number on the door The next house over is the grocery store [Chorus] Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner Don't see why you don't stay a little longer Georgie French on the piano Good morning Joe [Verse 2] Can't go home if you're going by the mill 'Cause the bridge washed out at the bottom of the hill The big creek's up and the little creek's level I plow my corn with a double shovel [Chorus] Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner Don't see why you don't stay a little longer That's tiny Roy Hey [Verse 3] Sitting, in the window singing to my love Slop bucket fell from the window up above Mule and a grasshopper eating ice cream The mule got sick so they laid him on the green [Chorus] Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner Don't see why you don't stay a little longer [Verse 4] Grab your gal and pat her on the head If she don't like biscuits, feed her cornbread Girls on Cripple Creek about half-grown They jump on a man like a dog on a bone [Chorus] Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner Don't see why you don't stay a little longer [Chorus] Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner Don't see why you don't stay a little longer
