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