Stay A Little Longer
Merle Haggard · Down Every Road [1996]
(Bob Wills - Tommy Duncan)
(Spoken)
Biffy on the drums and Dennis, you on the bass
When I count this off, ya'll give me a little Texas
Playboy type rhythm, okay
One, two, three four.
(spoken)
Gather round friends, why hurry
Let's all stay a little longer.
--- Instrumental ---
(Sang)
You oughta 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.
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 ya don't stay a little longer.
(Spoken)
Georgie French on the piano
Good mornin' Joe
--- Instrumental ---
Can't go home if you're goin' 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 doubled shovel.
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 ya don't stay a little longer.

(Spoken)
That's Tiny Roy
Hey
Sittin, in the window singin' to my love
Slop bucket fell from the window up above
Mule and grasshopper eatin' ice cream
The mule got sick so they laid him on the green.
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 ya don't stay a little longer.
--- Instrumental ---
Grab your gal and pat her on the head
If she don't like biscuits feed her corn bread
girls on cripple creek, bout half grown
They jump on a man like a dog on a bone.
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 ya don't stay a little longer.
--- Instrumental ---
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 ya don't stay a little longer...
