(sung to the tune of "Bye-bye Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry....
She drew out all her money out of the Southern Trust
And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound Bus
Leaving Oklahoma for Dallas, Tex.
Down came the tears from her happiness
Her own little son named Barry Switzer
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Barry
Good bye Barry Switzer
She remembered taking money out from gathering crop
And buying Barry's play-book at a broker shop
As long as he would read it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble she was satisfied
But never thought that there would come a day like this
When she would have to give her son a goodby kiss
Going
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Barry
Good bye Barry Switzer
She finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Barry wrote and told her he had won the ring
As soon as he was able he would hock the thing
And build a mansion for 'em by the railroad track
So every time they heard the locomotive roar
They'd be a' standin', a' wavin' by the kitchen door
Howling
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Barry
Good bye Barry Switzer |
