Hank Thompson May I Sleep in Your Barn Tonight Mister Lyrics:
One night it was dark and it was storming when
along came a tramp in the rain He was making his
way to some station to catch a long distance train

May I sleep in your barn Mister it is cold lying
out on the ground And the cold north wind is
whistling and I have no place to lie down Now I
have no tobacco nor matches and I'm sure I can
cause you no harm I will tell you my story kind
Mister for it runs through my heart like a storm

It was three years ago just last summer I shall
never forget that sad day When a stranger came out
from 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 down
