The Punkin Center Barn Dance

David Allan Coe

He came from Kentucky least ways that's what I've been told

Me and fate had left that state before his corpse got cold

He'd been killed for gold hhen California could be sold

To any fool who had been told bbout the Punkin Center Barn Dance

Mama had the fever and my daddy sold his soul

To someone called the devil that he'd met along life's road

Dad would stop to drink a toast and mom was looking like a ghost

Was gonna beat us to the coast and the Punkin Center Barn Dance

At the Punkin Center Barn Dance that's where everyone would be

Dancing to Virginia's reel and the waltz of Tennessee

When the roll is called up yonder you can hear the angels sing

At the Punkin Center Barn Dance God is gold the grass is green

[ fiddle ]

Yeah I left California just before the Grateful Dead

Told the truth about the gold I'd searched for in my head

Like my Dad I'd roamed the land and Mom could never understand

How Lucifer could bring a man to the Punkin Center Barn Dance

Well times are changin' poets say since mom and dad both passed away

But some things in this life will never change

The poets write of things to come the earth will melt into the sun

And you and I will be the ones at the Punkin Center Barn Dance

At the Punkin Center Barn Dance...

At the Punkin Center Barn Dance...
