LYRICS

Stay All Night
(as sung by Tommy Jarrell)

Stay all night, don’t go home
Stay all night, don’t go home
Stay all night, don’t go home
Stay with me till morning

River’s up and I can’t get across
River’s up and I can’t get across
River’s up and I can’t get across
Stay with me till morning

Paid five dollars for an old blind horse
Paid five dollars for an old blind horse
He fell down and I couldn’t get across
Stay with me till morning

I kicked and I spurred and I couldn’t get him in
I kicked and I spurred and I couldn’t get him in
I’d pay five dollars if you’d take him back again
Stay with me till morning
