Now go finish it.
You can do better than the old barb wire line and the 14 knots.
Decided to do a cut and paste 'cos it is quicker.

SET THE BARN ON FIRE
When I was nine me and Bobby and Bill,
During the summer (we) had time to kill,
Runnin all over grandpas farm,
(But)(And) our favorite place was out in the barn,
Billy said Bobby see what I got,
Pulled an old cigar from his sock,
One (good) puff(each) made us choke,
Soon the barn was full of smoke,
Taken by surprise there stood grandpa,
(Next thing we heard Granpa call)
Pulled off his belt said got something for ya'll.
Pulled off his belt and whopped us all)
(CHORUS)
Sirens were blastin and bells were ringin,
Think I'd rather heard angels singin,
Thought that man would never tire,
He (fairly)set the barn on fire.
I had (some) words with Bucky Brown,
He liked to push (little) (people)(me) around,
He (thought)(said) he('d) (would) do me bodily harm,
I said meet me(out) in my grandpas barn.
He showed up ready to fight,
I swung with a left and blocked with a right,
Man, I thought I was almost to dead,
He put fourteen knots on the top of my head.
(As he rained blows upon my head?
(CHORUS)
Sirens were blastin and bells were ringin,
Thought I was hearin them angels singin,
Got tangled in some old barb wire,
(Thought his fists would never tire)
(We)(he really) set the barn on fire.
Darla jones was pretty as silk,
Came over to borrow som eggs and milk,
Carried a basket on her arm,
(I took her by the arm)
I said here's the milk the eggs are in the barn.
(Said there's milk and eggs out in the barn)
I gave her five now how is this,
(Out in the barn I asked for a kiss)
She said don't be stingy and gave me a kiss,
(She puckered up and gave me this)
Well I won't ever forget that day,
When me and Darla (Jones) rolled (around) in the hay.
(CHORUS)
Sirens were blastin and bells were ringin,
I know I was hearin them angels singin,
(It)(What) started (from an)(out as) innocent desire,
We set the barn on fire.
(Fairly set the barn on fire)
(BRIDGE)
First time it burned I was too young,
Second time my head went numb,
Third time a charm ain't no surprise,
I married Darla Jones on the Fourth of July.
(CHORUS)
Sirens were blastin and bells were ringin,
I'm still hearin them angels singin,
The flames of life couldn't get any higher,
(As)We (keep)set(ting) the barn on fire,
Ooh, we( like) set(ting) the barn on fire.
