Stay All Night (Stay A Little Longer)
~ Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys
The lyrics and verse order were taken from the movie clip from Lawless Empire (a 1945 Durango Kid movie). In
the clip the song is titled "Stay A Little Longer" although credits show the song title as "Stay All Night,
Stay a Little Longer." The recording from "The Tiffany Transcriptions Vol. 5" swap the second and third verse
below.
A
You ought to see my blue eyed Sally
E
She lives way down on Shinbone Alley
A
The number on the gate and the number on the door
E
And the next house over is a grocery store
CHORUS:
A
Stay all night stay a little longer
E
Dance all night dance a little longer
A
Pull off your coat throw it in a corner
E
Don't see why you don't stay a little longer
Instrumental break
A
Sitting in the window singing to my love
E
Slop bucket fell from the window up above
A
Mule and the grasshopper eatin' ice cream
E
The mule got sick so they laid him on a beam
Repeat CHORUS - Instrumental break
A
Can't go home if you're going by the mill
E
Cause the bridge is washed out at the bottom of the hill
A
Big Creek's up Little Creek's level
E
Plow my corn with a double shovel
Repeat CHORUS - Instrumental break
A
Grab your gal and pat her on the head
E
If she don't like biscuits feed her cornbread
A
Girls around Big Creek about half grown
E
Jump on a man like a dog on a bone
Repeat CHORUS
