    Mama Just Wants To Barrelhouse All Night Long

    Uploaded by

    The document is a song lyric describing a mother who wants to "barrelhouse all night long", despite various distractions and pressures in her city environment. Some of the things competing for her attention mentioned in the 3 verses are: being told to move along by a man on the street, hearing the city "singing like a siren choir", and feeling disconnected from reality like she's "living in a hologram". Through it all though, the repeating refrain is that the mother simply wants to enjoy herself by barrelhousing or partying all night.

    Mama Just Wants to Barrelhouse All Night Long

    Bruce Cockburn

    I was up the road on easy street


    Watching everybody stand around and cheat
    A man comes up and says, 'Move along
    Down to the corner where you belong'
    But mama just wants to barrelhouse all night
    long

    I hear the city singing like a siren choir


    Some fool tried to set this town on fire
    TV preacher screams 'come on along'
    I feel like Fay Wray face to face with King Kong
    But mama just wants to barrelhouse all night
    long

    Sometimes I wonder what I am


    I feel like I'm living in a hologram
    It doesn't seem to matter what's right or wrong
    Everybody's grabbing and coming on strong
    But mama just wants to barrelhouse all night
    long
