| I was waltzin' with my darlin' at the cattleman’s ball
|
| Lost in the music and her charms
|
| I was glidin' around the dancefloor, she felt so good in my arms
|
| When a tall dark stranger walked up, and cut in
|
| He said, excuse me sir, why don’t you go have a seat
|
| I said well listen' here pardner, this may sound kinda crude
|
| But the lady is dancin' with me
|
| Now I paid for the supper, an' I bought the drinks
|
| So I feel that I’ve got the right
|
| Now I’m sorry ole buddy, but you just better back off
|
| Or there’s liable to be trouble here t’night
|
| Now I can see that you’re upset, 'cause it’s always been a tradition
|
| To let a fine young gentleman cut in
|
| But if you don’t take your hands off my lady, pardner
|
| I’m gonna have to break your chin
|
| Now, I’ve seen your kind before and I know
|
| Exactly what’s on your mind
|
| Your woman probably left you, for someone else
|
| So you thought you’d just take a run at mine
|
| Yeah, you though you’d be leavin' her later on
|
| That’s right… it's all part of the game
|
| Why don’t you take my advice and on go back to the bar
|
| In one piece, the same way you came in
|
| The stranger took off and I saw him tryin' with someone else
|
| An' my lady well, she scowled at me
|
| An' she said, you know… I think that was very uncouth
|
| And goes against all the rules of chivilary
|
| Then she smiled up at me, with those beautiful eyes
|
| An' said, Mister, you know I kinda like your style
|
| But do you think we should call up the sitter and check on the kids?
|
| I just grined and said, Naw… let's just dance a while… |
