Barn Dance Lyrics - Country Songs For Children - Tom T. Hall

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 

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 

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

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 

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 

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

The old hen got so tickled
