Songtexte: Tom T. Hall. Barn Dance.

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
Till an old dog buddied 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

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
