Out Behind The Barn

Out Behind the Barn - “Little“ Jimmy Dickens

My pappy used

To tan my hide

Out behind the barn

He taught me to be dignified

Out behind the barn

But when he took

That 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 so sick

You should've seen

How that tobacco

Turned me green

I almost died

From nicotine

Out behind the barn

I got my education

Out behind the barn

And I'm not foolin' no siree

Passed each examination

Out behind the barn

But it almost made a wreck out of 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

How to kiss and pet

And that's a game

I can't forget

Cause we still

Play the same game yet

Out behind the barn

I wish I could go again

Out behind the barn

And do some things I did then

Out behind the barn

Now you may think it ain't no fun

To be a poor old farmers son

You just don't know

What all I've done

Out behind the barn

I got my education

Out behind the barn

And i'm not foolin' no siree

Passed each examination

Out behind the barn

But it almost made a wreck out of me
