Stay A Little Longer Lyrics - Merle Haggard

(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 

(sing) 

Ya 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 

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 

(scat singing) 

Grab your gal and pat her on the head 

If she don't like biscuits feed her corn bread 

If the girls don't 

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 

Pul
