Charley Gray's Barn Dance (2004 Remaster)

Now we always went to dances down at dear old Charley

Gray's

Everyone was singin everyone was gay

Now the place has come alive

Everybody's learned to jive way down

Way down that way

And no fiddler Joe has tossed away his roden and his

Bow

Blowin' on a saxophone you ought to hear him go

Everybody starts to move when Joseph gets into the

Groove and they

Oh they really go Yeah Man

Now we play our country music like it's never been

Played before

Kept up Swanee River and ol' Dan Murphy's door

The ol' folk say for goodness sake

For the country kids can really shake and they all

Yell for more

Now I can play in country music both the bitter and the

Sweet

Telling of the places and the people that you meet

Everything was goin' stale until one day we hit the

Nail and played

That boogie beat Here we go now

Now when Saturday comes round and we're all ready for a

Ball

Everybody gathers answering the call

Music flowin' thru' the trees guitars rockin' 'round

Our knees way down

At the old dance hall

'Cause we play our country music like it's never been

Played before

Kept up Swanee River and ol' Dan Murphy's door

The ol' folk say for goodness sake

For the country kids can really shake and they all

Yell for more

That's all
