One [D]night as I was sleeping, [G]something awakened [D]me
[D]There was a light on in my barn so [E7]I went down to [A]see
I [D]peeked through a big ol' crack in the door and [G]what do you think I [D]saw
The [D]animals were having a barn dance [A]right in the horse's [D]stall
Chorus:
[A]And [A/B]there [A/C#]was a [D]chicken doing the chicken reel and the [G]muskrat rambled [D]on
The [D]old cow did the cow-cow boogie and the [E7]rooster crowed a [A]song
A [D]mouse came out of his hiding place and [G]he danced on one [D]leg
The [D]old hen got so tickled that she [A]almost laid an [D]egg
Banjo interlude
Guitar break
They were all dressed up for the barn dance it made me want to laugh
The rabbit wore the big bowtie and the pig was a looking in the looking glass
And the goose danced with the gander till an old dog boddied in
The horse was horsin' around a lot till the mare got mad at him
Chorus
