( I'm in love with the girl with the golden,
|
can't live without the girl with the golden . . . braids! )
|
|
I saw a gal with golden hair
|
dancin' as I played
|
never saw a gal so fair
|
as the girl with the golden braids!
|
I was travellin' with a band,
|
came to town and stayed
|
knew I'd have to seek the hand
|
of the girl with the golden braids!
|
|
Oh! . . . Dance girl, dance an' sway,
|
dance an' steal my heart away,
|
so many fellas stand in line
|
but I knew you'd be mine!
|
Yes, you'd be mine!
|
|
Knew I had to take a chance,
|
so I made a trade
|
gave my fiddle for a dance
|
with the girl with the golden braids
|
Now I'm thru forever more,
|
roamin' never paid
|
found that life that I adore
|
with the girl with the golden braids!
|
|
Oh! . . . Dance girl, dance an' sway,
|
dance an' steal my heart away,
|
so many fellas stand in line
|
but I knew you'd be mine!
|
Oh! . . . you'd be mine!
|
|
< instrumental break >
|
|
Dance girl, dance an' sway,
|
dance an' steal my heart away,
|
so many fellas stand in line
|
but I knew you'd be mine!
|
You'd be mine!
|
|
Now the boys are talkin' of
|
my last serenade
|
lucky me, I'm so in love
|
with the girl with the golden braids!
|
Ever since that night in June,
|
life's a rosy shade,
|
dancin' on my honeymoon
|
with the gal with the golden braids!
|
|
Oh! . . . Dance girl, dance an' sway,
|
dance an' steal my heart away,
|
so many fellas stand in line
|
but I knew you'd be mine!
|
|
Dance girl, dance an' sway,
|
dance an' steal my heart away,
|
so many fellas stand in line
|
but I knew you'd be mine!
|
|
Yes . . . I knew you'd be mine!
