Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't go home if you're goin' by the mill
'Cause the bridge's washed out at the bottom of the hill
The Big Creek's up Little Creek's level
Plow my corn with a double shovel
[Verse 2]
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 can't stay a little longer
[Verse 3]
Sittin' in the window singin' to my love
Slop bucket fell from the window  above
Mule and the grasshopper eatin' ice cream
Mule got sick so they laid him on the green
[Verse 4]
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 can't stay a little longer
[Verse 5]
Well, you all ought to see my Blue Eyed Sally
She lives away down on Shinbone Alley
The number on the gate, the number on the door
The next house over is the grocery store
[Verse 6]
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 can't stay a little longer
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Don't see why you can't stay a little longer
