The words go like this: Barefoot, Barefoot, you can never go wrong going barefoot Barefoot! barefoot! It's time you got your two feets on the ground. PART OF ANOTHER VERSE GOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS: --HE'S OUT RUN HER NOW.... THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER. |

17 Feb 02 - 12:21 AM (#651917) Subject: RE: lyric & chords request From: khandu smilee, I searched for it through Digitrad and other places but have found nothing. Perhaps, by refreshing this thread, some other 'Catter will recognize it. It is a wise thing to include the song title in the "thread name" when you post the thread. That way, anyone who knew the song would be sure to open the thread! Even if this song is not found through the Mudcat Cafe, please visit us again. Occasionally, we cannot help, but more often, we can. khandu |

BAREFOOTIN'
Everybody get on your feet.
Went to a party the other night.
Hey, little gal with the red dress on,
Li'l John Henry he said to Sue,
We barefootin'. We barefootin'. |

07 Apr 14 - 04:12 PM (#3616553) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Barefoot From: GUEST I am on the hunt for this song as well. My dad used to sing it to me when I was a kid. The chorus goes like this: Barefoot! Baaaarefoot! You'll never go wrong going barefoot! Barefoot! Baaarefoot! It helps to keep your two feet on the ground... one two one two one two sing Then a verse: {some lady} has been chasing Byron Diggers(?) She's been chasing him for nigh on twenty year. Now he's got the blues cause she caught him wearing Shooooooes.... Now his life is filled with sadness and with tears... {then back to chorus} That is all I remember right now. Any other elucidation on this song would be appreciated. Hope this snippet helps. ~Hue |

19 Sep 14 - 12:25 AM (#3661694) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Barefoot From: GUEST,Guest My wife sang this song in a choir in her youth, and we have a recording of it. From the recording, we have captured the following lyrics. Dave Barefoot -arranged by C. Naylor We here tell the world's a simmerin' and a stewin' (a stewin'), And yer radio fellers say it's come to go to pot. Such a pity, such a shame, but we figure what's to blame No one's thinking right because their feet's too hot. Chorus Wider Jones was chasin' after Hyrum Dickers He out ran her every time for nigh on 20 years He sure never thought he'd lose, but she caught him wearing shoes. Now his life is filled with sadness and with tears. Chorus Comes a rainstorm folks will have to look for rubbers. It's a pitiful waste of time for sure and goodness knows We'll go barefoot 'til were dead 'cause we want to get ahead. 'Sides it helps to keep a feller on his toes. Chorus: Barefoot, barefoot, you'll never go wrong going barefoot. Barefoot, barefoot, it's time we got our two feet on the ground. End: Keep your two feet on the ground… Yes, sir! |

Note that the referenced version did not end with "Yes, sir!" but I like that as the ending, so I am leaving it. Dave Barefoot - arranged by C. Naylor We here tell the world's a simmerin' and a stewin' (a stewin'), And yer radio fellers say it's come to go to pot. Seems a pity, such a shame, but we figure what's to blame No one's thinking right because their feet's too hot. Chorus Wider Jones been chasin' after Hyrum Dickers He outrun her every time for nigh on 20 years We sure never thought he'd lose, but she caught him wearing shoes.
