"Stay a Little Longer" is a Western swing dance tune written by Bob Wills and Tommy Duncan. The title comes from a refrain in the chorus: :''Stay all night, stay a little longer,'' :''Dance all night, dance a little longer,'' :''Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner,'' :''Don't see why you can't stay a little longer.'' The song consists of a number of unrelated verses, one of which (verse three) comes from an old folk song—"Shinbone Alley": :''You ought to see my Blue Eyed Sally,'' :''She lives way down on Shinbone Alley.'' :''Number on the gate, the number on the door,'' :''The next house over is the grocery store.''〔Cohen, ''Folk Music'', p. 209-210: "A version of 'Shinbone Alley' was published in 1833, though its origins may be still older. :"''Old Miss Tuck and my aunt Sallie'' :"''Both lived down in shinbone alley.'' :"''No sign on the gate, no number on the door;'' :"''Folks around here are gittin might poor.''"〕 Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys recorded it in 1945 and it reached #3 in 1946.〔Whitburn, ''The Billboard Book of Top 40 Country Hits'', p. 493〕 Willie Nelson (#22, 1973) and Mel Tillis (#17, 1982) also charted Top 40 hits. The song has been recorded numerous times. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stay a Little Longer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
