May I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight Mister - Hank Thompson
May I sleep in your barn tonight mister it is cold lying out on the ground
And the cold north wind is whistling and I have no place to lie down
Now I have no tobacco nor matches and I'm sure
I can cause you no harm
I will tell you my story kind mister for it runs through
My heart like a storm
It was three years ago just last summer I shall never forget that sad day
When a stranger came out from the city and said that he wanted to stay
Now the stranger was fair tall and handsome and
He looked like a man who had wealth
And he wanted to stay in the country said
He wanted to stop for his health
One night as I came from my workshop I was whistling and singing with joy
I expected a kind hearty welcome from
My sweet loving wife and my boy
But what did I find but a letter it was placed in
My room on the stand
And the moment my eyes fell upon it I picked it right up
In my hand
Now this note said my wife and the stranger had left
And had taken my son
Oh I wonder if god up in heaven only knows what this stranger has done
May I sleep in your barn tonight mister it is cold lying out on the ground
And the cold north wind is a whistling and I have
No place to lie down
