may i sleep in your barn tonight mister - hank thompson lyrics

Loading...

one night it was dark and it was storming when along came a tramp in the rain
he was making his way to some station to catch a long distance train

may i sleep in your barn mister it is cold lying out on the ground
and the cold north wind is whistling and i have no place to lie down
now i have no tobacco nor matches and i’m sure i can cause you no harm
i will tell you my story kind mister for it runs through my heart like a storm

it was three years ago just last summer i shall never forget that sad day
when a stranger came out from the city and said that he wanted to stay
now the stranger was fair tall and handsome and he looked like a man who had wealth
and he wanted to stay in the country said he wanted to stop for his health

one night as i came from my workshop i was whistling and singing with joy
i expected a kind hearty welcome from my sweet loving wife and my boy
but what did i find but a letter it was placed in my room on the stand
and the moment my eyes fell upon it i picked it right up in my hand

now this note said my wife and the stranger had left and had taken my son
oh i wonder if god up in heaven only knows what this stranger has done
may i sleep in your barn mister it is cold lying out on the ground
and the cold north wind is a whistling and i have no place to lie down
