San Antonio Stroll

When I was a child

Down in south Caroline

Soon's the Saturday sun went on down

My folk's 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 ol' Opry show

So I never got lonesome or blue

I'd fall asleep in my chair

And dream that I was right there

Just singing the whole night through

When my folks would come home

They'd be humming a song

Mamma'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 old cracked 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 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 well all can do

That ol' San Antonio stroll

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
