When I was a child down in south |
|
Caroline soon's the |
|
Saturday sun went on down |
|
My folk's and sister would go and leave me home all alone |
|
Goin' to that big square dance in town |
|
Well my old radio would play that ol' opry show so |
|
I never got lonsome or blue |
|
I'd fall asleep in my chair and dream that |
|
I was right there just a-singing the whole night through |
|
When my folks would come home they'd be humming a song |
|
Mamma'd smile and say "Child don't you know There ain't a thing in this world to make you fall in love girl like the San Antonio Stroll" |
|
Well the day finally come when my momma said "Hon' It's 'bout time you came with us as well" |
|
Well, I had me a time |
|
Yes, I danced all night |
|
Till they rang that old cracked midnight bell, |
|
Then the lights went down low the fiddler picked up his bow and he played something stately and slow |
|
And my sister |
|
Eileen and her husband to be they held hands and began to stroll |
|
I've been away for a while but it still brings a smile when |
|
I think of the way that it goes |
|
Now I'll sing it to you |
|
Just so we both can do that ol' |
|
San Antonio |
|
Stroll Now |
|
I'll sing it to you just so well all can do that ol' |
|
San Antonio |
|
Stroll |
