Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
May I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight Mister
| D | A |
| One night it was dark and it was storming when along came a tramp in the | rain |
| D | G |
| He was | making his way to some | |
| A | D |
| station to | catch a long distance | train |
| D |
| May I sleep in you'r barn tonight mister, |
| A |
| It's cold lying out on the | ground |
| D |
| And the | cold north wind |
| G | A | D |
| is | whistling and | I have no place to lie | down |
| D | A |
| Now I have no tobacco nor matches and I'm sure I can cause you no | harm |
| D | G |
| I will | tell you my story kind | Mister |
| A | D |
| for it | runs through my heart like a | storm |
| D | A |
| It | was three years ago just last summer I shall never forget that sad | day |
| D |
| When a | stranger came out from |
| G | A | D |
| the | city and | said that he wanted to | stay |
Now the stranger was fair tall and handsome and he looked like a man who had wealth
And he wanted to stay in the
country said he wanted to stop for his health
One night as I came from my workshop I was whistling and singing with joy
I expected a kind hearty welcome from
my sweet loving wife and my boy
But what did I find but a letter it was placed in my room on the stand
And the moment my eyes fell upon it I picked it right up in my hand
Now this note said my wife and the stranger had left and had taken my son
Oh I wonder if God up in heaven only knows
what this stranger has done
May I sleep in your barn Mister it is cold lying out on the ground
And the cold north wind is a whistling and I
have no place to lie
May I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight Mister Music
