[00:21.62]It was the first time ever he saw her
[00:25.90]He saw his future in a long white cotton gown
[00:30.59]Sittin' there at the church house, she was gonna get baptized
[00:35.07]They was gonna have dinner on the grounds
[00:39.17]
[01:00.54]So the very next Friday, he got off at the sawmill
[01:05.36]He slicked his hair back, he had a pocket full of pay
[01:09.91]When she opened up the front door, he was grinnin' like a possum
[01:14.48]As he handed her a daisy, she heard him say...
[01:18.09]
[01:19.01]Hey let's go dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill
[01:23.88]They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill
[01:28.76]And by midnight we just might wind up dancin' standin' still
[01:33.26]By my Daddy's lanern light, let me walk ya home
[01:36.50]
[01:58.22]After they got married, it didn't seem like no time
[02:02.82]They's a sayin' their goodbye's he's a goin' to the big world war
[02:07.61]'Bout a lifetime later, she's a waitin' at the depot
[02:11.96]He said I ain't a gonna leave you, no never no more
[02:16.03]
[02:16.57]Said let's go dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill
[02:21.75]They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill
[02:26.31]And by midnight we just might wind up dancin' standin' still
[02:30.93]By my Daddy's lantern light, let me walk ya home
[02:34.22]
[03:14.18]In front of friends and kinfolk and all of us grandkids
[03:18.94]In the same little church house, in a long white cotton gown
[03:23.70]He bent down and he kissed her, he said I'm right behind ya honey
[03:28.21]It wasn't long 'til we laid him in the ground
[03:31.94]
[03:32.80]And now they're dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill
[03:37.88]They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill
[03:42.55]And by midnight they just might wind up dancin' standin' still
[03:47.12]By the Father's lantern light, they're walkin' home
[03:50.45]
