Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Out Behind the Barn
Out Behind the Barn
Out Behind the Barn
My pappy used to tan my hide, out behind the barn
He taught me to be dignified, out behind the barn
But when he took his strap to me,
And turned me down across his knee
He sure did hurt my dignity, out behind the barn
I got my education out behind the barn
And I'm not foolin' no siree
Passed each examination, out behind the barn
But it almost made a wreck out of me
I smoked my first cigarette, out behind the barn
And that's a day I won't forget, out behind the barn
I got so sick, you should have seen,
How that terbaccy turned me green
I almost died from nicotine, out behind the barn
I met a pretty girls one day, out behind the barn
She wanted me to stay and play, out behind the barn
She taught me how to kiss and pet,
And that's a game I won't forget
'Cause we still play that same game yet, out behind the barn
I wish that I could go again, out behind the barn
And do some things that I did then, out behind the barn
Now you may think it ain't no fun,
To be a poor old farmer's son
But you just don't know what all I've dobe, out behind the barn
