Verse 1

G
Can't go home if you're goin' by the mill,
                                    D             G
'Cause the bridge washed out at the bottom of the hill.
Big creek's up and the little creek's level.
                    D      G
Plow my corn with a double shovel.

Chorus

G
Stay all night, stay a little longer.
D                G
Dance all night, dance a little longer
Pull off your coat and throw it in the corner.
D                       G
Don't see why you can't stay a little longer

Verse 2

G
Sittin' in the window, singin' to my love.
                          D      G
Slop bucket fell from the window above
Mule and the grasshopper eatin' ice cream
                    D               G
Mule Got sick so we laid him on the beam

Stay all night, stay a little longer.

Don't see why you can't stay a little longer

Well you oughta see my blue eyed Sally,
                      D        G
She lives way down on Shinbone Alley
The number on the gate the number on the door.
                           D       G
The next place over is the Grocery store.

Don't see why you can't stay a little longer
