I grew up listening to alot of what was once referred to as "hillbilly".That particular melody is
or was in the public domain.That melody was used on a 1949 Hank Thompson Capitol rec-
ording called "The Wild Side of Life".A few years later,singer Kitty Wells used the melody
in her "answer" called "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels".The melody was also used in an ancient gospel song called "The Great Speckled Bird".If memory serves me,Roy Acuff cut it for the old American Record Company circa 1936.A disc jockey I know
named Johnny Etheridge made mention of the "Can I Sleep in Your Barn Tonight Mister"on
his vintage country show out of Eugene,Oregon.He has a vast knowledge of early country
and often plays radio transcriptions of all of the big country stars like Hank Williams,Patsy
Cline and countless others.John Etheridge grew up in Texas as I recall.

Can I sleep in your barn tonight, mister?
I won't do your cows any harm,
For as long as there's sheep in the meadow,
To hell with the cows in the barn.
