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