It just occurred to me that I hadn't done a comedic song in a long time so I wrote this down and asked my lovely wife to help on the chorus.

Lyrics
Gosh-Darn Song
Copyright 2012
Charlie Camp
Well, I went to the barn to feed my horse
but the door to the barn was locked, of course
so, I headed back to get my key
when I tripped on the step and busted my knee
(chorus)
He went to the barn
Yes, he went to the barn
He went to the barn
but he didn't get in - gosh-darn!
So, I limped to the cabinet to get a pill
'cause my knee really hurt from that spill
but that dern toilet had overflowed
and I slipped and fell and broke my "nose"!
He limped to the cabinet
He limped to the cabinet
He limped to the cabinet
but he slipped and he fell, "dag nabit!"
(break)
there's one thing that's been true for me
Bad luck always comes in threes
So I crawled outside and there I sat
in a mudpuddle ... howd'yalikethat?
So I picked myself up and hobbled off
it seems I had developed a cough
but I looked around when I heard a neigh
and there was my horse eatin' my hay!
He picked himself up
He picked himself up
He picked himself up
and found his horse - just my luck
so here is the moral of my story
take it or leave it's okay by me
but, when you put up your horse at night,
make sure you lock BOTH doors tight!
He went to the barn
he went to the barn
he went to the barn,
but he didn't get in ....
well, I'll be dog-gone
