here's your boy a -talkin'.
I got somethin' wonderful to say.
You know that gal I mentioned
Well, I'm bringin' her home
Then we'll start out early in the morn.
Tell all my friends the news,
get on your dancin' shoes
There's gonna be a shindig in the barn
A fiddle playin', guitar pickin',
do -si -do and heel kickin'
Regular old shindig in the barn
I met up with her out in California
And Ma, she's a whole lot like you
Yellow hair and great big eyes of blue
Tell Or ville Shaw to tune up his old fiddle
And please leave at home his jug of corn
Get the boys to lend a hand
And clean its spick and span
There's gonna be a shindig in the barn
A hand -clappin', punch -drinkin',
foot -stompin', partner -swingin',
He's awful bad to joke and act a fool
Be sure to tell him not to get too personal
And tease her about our honeymoon
Tell Paul to shave and look his finest
His eyes are gonna light up more, I warn
A fiddle playin', guitar pickin',
do -si -do and heel kickin'
Regular old shindig in the barn
