Tanya Tucker - San Antonio Stroll lyrics

When I was a child down in South Carolin' Soon as the Saturday sun went on down. My folks 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 old Opry show So I never got lonesome or blue I'd 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'd be hummin' a song, Mama'd smile and say child don'tcha 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 hun 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 crack 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 awhile, 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 old San Antonio Stroll Yes, I'll sing it to you Just so we all can do That old San Antonio Stroll.
