I was waltzin' with my darlin' at the cattleman's ball.
|
Lost in the music and her charms.
|
I was glidin' around the dancefloor, she felt so good in my arms.
|
When a tall dark stranger walked up, and cut in.
|
He said, excuse me sir, why don't you go have a seat.
|
I said well listen' here pardner, this may sound kinda crude,
|
But the lady is dancin' with me.
|
Now I paid for the supper, an' I bought the drinks,
|
So I feel that I've got the right,
|
Now I'm sorry ole buddy, but you just better back off,
|
Or there's liable to be trouble here t'night.
|
Now I can see that you're upset, 'cause it's always been a tradition,
|
To let a fine young gentleman cut in,
|
But if you don't take your hands off my lady, pardner,
|
I'm gonna have to break your chin.
|
Now, I've seen your kind before and I know,
|
Exactly what's on your mind.
|
Your woman probably left you, for someone else,
|
So you thought you'd just take a run at mine.
|
Yeah, you though you'd be leavin' her later on,
|
That's right...it's all part of the game.
|
Why don't you take my advice and on go back to the bar,
|
In one piece, the same way you came in.
|
The stranger took off and I saw him tryin' with someone else.
|
An' my lady well, she scowled at me,
|
An' she said, you know...I think that was very uncouth,
|
And goes against all the rules of chivilary.
|
Then she smiled up at me, with those beautiful eyes,
|
An' said, Mister, you know I kinda like your style,
|
But do you think we should call up the sitter and check on the kids?
|
I just grined and said, Naw...let's just dance a while...
