HANK THOMPSON lyrics - May I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight, Mister? One night it was dark and 'twas stormy When along came a tramp in the rain He was making his way to the station To catch a long distance train I have no tobacco or matches And I'm sure I will do you no harm I will tell you my story kind mister For it runs through my heart like a thorn May I sleep in your barn tonight, mister It is cold lying out on the ground And the cold north wind is a-howling And I have no place to lie down It was three years ago last summer I shall never forget that sad day When a stranger came out from the city And said that he wanted to stay One night as I came from my workshop I was whistling and singing with joy I expected a kind-hearted welcome From my sweet loving wife and my boy But what should I find I find but a letter It was placed in the room on the stand And the moment my eyes fell upon it I picked it right up in my hand This note said my wife and the stranger They had left and had taken my son 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-howling And I have no place to lie down |
