Tanya Tucker - San Antonio Stroll lyrics

Album: Collection (1996)

When I was a child down in South Carolin´
Soon as the Saturday sun went on down.
My folks & sister would go,
And leave me home all alone,
Goin´ to that big square dance in town.

Well my old radio
would play that old Opry show
So I never got lonesome or blue
I would fall asleep in my chair
and dream that I was right there
Just a´singin´ the whole night thru.

When my folks would come home
They would be hummin´ a song,
Mama´d smile & say child don´tcha know
There aint 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 hun
It is ´bout time you came with us as well
Well I had me a time,
Yes, I danced all night
´Until they rang that old crack midnight bell

Then the lights went down low
The fiddler picked up his bow
And he played smth stately & slow
And my sister Eileen & her husband to be
They held hands & began to stroll.

I have been away for awhile,
But it still brings a smile
When I think of the way that it goes
Now I will sing it to you
Just so we both can do
That old San Antonio Stroll

Yes, I will sing it to you
Just so we all can do
That old San Antonio Stroll.
