Thread Name: Lyr Add: May I Sleep in Your Barn Tonight Mister
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: May I Sleep in Your Barn Tonight Mister
Entering a nursing home I was greeted by a woman with allshimers
who usually calls out with unpleasant words, but she was singing "May I sleep in your barn tonight mister" and laughing. Looked up the song, got the words , listened to the singer and hope to have a monthly gathering of folk singers play this tune. They sit in a circle with everyone taking their turn to sind and play a favorite song. My basket is too full of holes for me to sing insuch a public place. Returned to the nursing home and we sang a duet and laughed and laughed. so did all in the diningroom people. Thank you
