歌手 | Joey + Rory |
专辑 | The Life Of A Song |
作曲 : Camp, Sanders | |
It was the first time ever he saw her | |
He saw his future in a long white cotton gown | |
Sittin' there at the church house, she was gonna get baptized | |
They was gonna have dinner on the grounds | |
So the very next | |
Friday, he got off at the sawmill | |
He slicked his hair back, he had a pocket full of pay | |
When she opened up the front door, he was grinnin' like a possum | |
As he handed her a daisy, she heard him say | |
Hey, let's go dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill | |
They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill | |
And by midnight we just might wind up dancin' standin' still | |
By my daddy's lantern light, let me walk you home | |
After they got married, it didn't seem like no time | |
They just sayin' their goodbye's, he's a goin' to the big world war' | |
Bout a lifetime later, she's a waitin' at the depot | |
He said I ain't a gonna leave you, no, never no more | |
Said let's go dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill | |
They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill | |
And by midnight we just might wind up dancin' standin' still | |
By my daddy's lantern light, let me walk you home | |
In front of friends and kinfolk and all of us grandkids | |
In the same little church house, in a long white cotton gown | |
He bent down and he kissed her, he said, | |
I'm right behind you, honey | |
It wasn't long 'til we laid him in the ground | |
And now they're dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill | |
They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill | |
And by midnight they just might wind up dancin' standin' still | |
By the Father's lantern light, they're walkin' home |
