Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting Mean Mary James performing Big Red Barn (banjo, fiddle and mandolin)

Big red barn written by
Lyrics
"Sittin' all alone in my big red barn
entertainin' critters that don't give a darn
singin' for ducks and geese and chickens
bayin' like a hound and playin' like the
(one, two, three, four)
dickens

Poor little me sittin' in the dust
Got no one to hold me and no one to trust
sittin' in the shadow yearnin' for the sun
Oh, nothing, nix, nil, not,
not even one

Just dust and feathers and whines and whethers
Just get to work no get-togethers
Scores of chores, scores of yokels and bores
Love's never gonna knock on these barn doors

Poor little me should be sittin' by the sea
not k-i-s-s-i-n-g
no l-u-v, no fun, fun, fun
oh, no one to hog-tie, not even one

This big red barn is startin' to lean,
but I'm sittin' here rockin' like a barnyard queen
roof's caved in and the floor's rotted through
just held together with cobweb glue

Poor little me sittin' in the dust
Got no one to hold me and no one to trust
sittin' in the shadow yearnin' for the sun
Oh, nothing, nix, nil, not,
zero, zilch, none

The big red barn finally fell to the ground
And I packed wild ducks quacked all around
Sold the chickens for a ticket and a new bikini
Flew south with the geese
Hope no one seen me

Poor little me finally sittin' by the sea
just k-i-s-s-i-n-g
they're gettin' in line one by one
oh, he's next, you're done"
