thanks to the fiddle rag.
I stopped one night in Houston
on my way to New Orleans.
I met her in a Texas ballroom
dressed in boots and jeans.
that hung down past her middle.
I fell in love with the girl that loved
the man that played the fiddle.
He played home in San Antone
Uncle Penn and the Devil's Dream
She'd jump around, clap her hands,
you're all in time for the Texas drag
Grab your partner and hang on tight,
Well, he kept dragging that fiddle bow
She kept looking at him all night
And she never once glanced my way
Well, I felt like an orphaned boy
With a dull knife tryin' to whittle
And I was right, she left that night
With the man that played the fiddle
Well, he played home in San Antone
Off a pin in the devil's tree
She'd jump around, clap her hands
It's time for the Texas drag
Grab your partner and hang on tight,
Dance to the fiddle ride!
Grab your partner and hang on tight,
Dance to the fiddle ride!
