San Antonio Stroll (feat. Sister Sadie)

When I was a child down in South Caroline,

Soon as the Saturday sun went on down

My folks and sisters would go and leave me home all alone

Going to that big square dance in town

Well my old radio would play that ole Opry show

So I never got lonesome or blue

I’d fall asleep in my chair dreaming I was right there

Just singing the whole night through

When my folks would come home they’d be humming a song

They’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 ol’ cracked midnight bell

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

Held hand 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 we both can do

That ol’ San Antonio Stroll
