Stay A Little Longer

(album: Your Body Is An Outlaw - 1980)

Well, you've all seen my little blue-eyed Sally
She lives a-way down on Shinbone Alley
The number on the gate and 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 you don't stay a little longer

Well, sitting on the window talking to my love
A slop bucket fell from the window up above
Mule and the grasshopper eating ice-cream
The mule got sick, and we laid him o'er the beam

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

Well, you can't go home if you're going by the mill
The bridge washed out at the bottom of the hill
Big creek's up, and the little creek's left
Plow my corn with a double 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 you don't stay a little longer

Stay all night, stay a little longer
Dance all night, dance a little longer
Pull off your coat, put it in the corner
Don't see why you don't stay a little longer
