OUT BEHIND THE BARN
Words and music by Boudleaux Bryant
As recorded by Little Jimmy Dickens, 1954.

My pappy used to tan my hide, out behind the barn.
He taught me to be dignified, out behind the barn.
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 smoked my first cigarette, out behind the barn.
And that's one day I won't forget, out behind the barn.
I got sick; you should have seen
How that terbacker turned me green.
I almost died from nicotine, out behind the barn.

CHORUS: I got my education out behind the barn.
I ain't a-foolin', no siree.
Passed each examination, out behind the barn,
But it almost made a wreck out o' me.

I met a pretty girl one day, out behind the barn.
She wanted me to stay and play, out behind the barn.
She taught me to kiss and pet,
And that's a game I can'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.
You just don't know what all I've done, out behind the barn.

CHORUS

That Little Jimmy -- he's the dickens, alright. Look up his "Sleepin' At The Foot Of The Bed". Or "Take An Ol', Cold "Tater An' Wait". Tw
