[Verse 1] I grew up in the country in the backwoods on a farm Grains, dark beans, and cornbread, but we werent poor by far We had a little money, but we didnt have a car On Friday nights, wed hitch a ride out to Jesses barn [Chorus] So break out the fiddle and rosin up the bow Grab your partner and you dosido On and on we would go Til the break of day would dawn Swing her to the left and swing her to the right Promenade and dance all night We didnt have much but we had all night Out in Jesses barn [Verse 2] One night after wed married, w had a little fight Went off for a couple of days and I dont know who was right So w went out for a walk one night but we didnt go too far We found what we were lookin for out in Jesses barn [Chorus] So break out the fiddle and rosin up the bow Grab your partner and you dosido On and on we would go Til the break of day would dawn Swing her to the left and swing her to the right Promenade and dance all night We didnt have much but we had all night Out in Jesses barn [Verse 3] Well a lot of years have passed and gone and Jesses gone away I missed him when he left us, but I miss him more today Sometimes late on Friday nights, well walk but not too far You can still hear music playin out in Jesses barn [Chorus] So break out the fiddle and rosin up the bow Grab your partner and you dosido On and on we would go Til the break of day would dawn Swing her to the left and swing her to the right Promenade and dance all night We didnt have much but we had all night Out in Jesses barn
