* I want a barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad
Won't you play for me a down home country song
'Cos when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off
With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong


Give me a honk-tonk fiddle with a guitar in the middle and a melody
Humming like a fountain swinging out on smokey mountain


* Repeat


Now the big toe's connected to the two toe
And the two toe's connected to the three toe
And the three toe's connected to the four toe
And the four toe's connected to the five toe
And the five toe (that's a live toe) and away we go


* Repeat


Now the big toe's connected to the two toe
And the two toe's connected to the three toe
And the three toe's connected to the four toe
And the four toe's connected to the five toe
And the five toe (that's a live toe, what's a live toe, that's a jive toe
what's a jive toe, that's a drive toe) and away we go


I wanna barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad
Won't you play for me (play for who, play for him
play for her her) a barefoot ballad song.
