Barn Dance

The moon is bright, and the chores are done Tonight's the night to have some fun! The harvest in, calls for a night's hell-raisin' Take me out in the old hay wagon! Not far to go, where the old dirt road ends There on the left, where the oak branch bends Let's hurry, Pa! ....Hitch the old grey mare! We'll share with folks sorghum pies I've made Stop la gaging, there's some moonshine waitin' I'll wear my calico, with petticoats wavin' Fiddles playin', and banjos are strummin' Feet are flying, to some do-si-do-ing! We'll kick up heels, with a still of whiskey Come'on old man, while I'm feeling frisky!!! ___________________________________ For the Hoe Down Contest:

Sounds like a night of fun at the old square dance. Thanks for your comments on my Acrostic about Miranda. She is the daughter of a lady that works with my husband and we live only 1/4 of a mile from their job site so the Jr. young lady is getting off the bus at my house to stay an hour after school. I always have had children in some form in my life. Thanks for asking, Sara. :)
