Well, you've all seen my little blue-eyed Sally She lives a-way down on Shinbone Alley The number on the gate and the number on the door The next house over is the grocery store Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner Don't see why you don't stay a little longer Well, sittin' on the window talkin' to my love A slop bucket fell from the window up above Mule and the grasshopper eatin' ice-cream The mule got sick, and we laid him o'er the beam Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner Don't see why you don't stay a little longer Well, you can't go home if you're goin' by the mill The bridge washed out at the bottom of the hill Big creek's up, and the little creek's left Plow my corn with a double shovel Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner Don't see why you don't stay a little longer Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, put it in the corner Don't see why you don't stay a little longer
