Thread Name: Shinbone Alley: Where is it?
Subject: Lyr Add: STAY ALL NIGHT (from Bob Wills)
STAY ALL NIGHT by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys

You ought to see my blue-eyed Sally
She lives down on Shin-bone alley
The number on the gate, the number on the door
The next house over is a grocery store

Chorus:
Stay all night, stay a little longer
Dance all night, dance a little longer
Pull off your coat and throw it in the corner
Don't see why you don't stay a little longer

You can't get home if you're going by the mill
Cause the bridge washed out at the bottom of the hill
The big creek's up and the big creek's level
Plow my corn with a double shovel

Chorus:

Settin' in the window, singin' to my love
Slop bucket fell from the window up above
Mule and grasshopper eatin' ice cream
Mule got sick and we laid him on a beam

Chorus:

Swing your best gal.
